Focusing on the democratization of the EU, Philippe C. Schmitter examines the challenges of establishing new forms of citizenship and representation in a non-state entity.

Schmitter suggests several reforms, ranging from modest to ambitious, aimed at enhancing democratic practices and ultimately fostering a true Euro-democracy in the future.
