Draft Paper for the First Euroacademia Global Conference Europe Inside-Out: Europe and Europeaness Exposed to Plural Observers, Vienna, 22 – 24 September 2011
European
Union today stands on her continent as one of the most amazing human projects
of the world. At the same time Europe, as the
cradle of modern democracies has long been laid herself open to criticisms
about democratic deficit in this European Union. From the House of
Lords to the Bundestag, from Lok Sabha (India) to Knesset (Israel); Parliaments all around the
world with their all pride and glory represents houses of demos. The
most substantial criticism about the democracy in the European Union is related
to this fact; the weakness of European Parliament. However looking closely, it
might seem as though different dynamics of the European Union deserve a
different type of perception. This paper will consider the democracy in
European Union by analysing different points of view and solutions about the
Democratic Deficit in the European Union.
