The democratic legitimacy of the European Union has become an increasingly urgent issue. In searching for a way out, academics, EU institutions, and political forces advocate the involvement of civil society. The Commission''s new governance approach and the Lisbon Treaty introduced elements of participatory democracy and elevated civil society to a key actor in democratizing the EU. Does this hold upon closer scrutiny? This is the main question of the book. Itinvestigates how the promise of civil society participation is put into practice and, based on an elaborate theoretical framework, evaluates whether the political practice deserves the quality attribute ''participatory democracy''. The book presents the results of a large research project composed of severalhighly original empirical studies. The research team used various methodological approaches and generated a rich data set. The wealth of empirical insight is evaluated against clear criteria deduced from normative democratic theory. As key elements of the analyses - democracy, participation, and civil society - are contested concepts, the authors placed particular emphasize on clarifying their understanding of these concepts and on considering competing interpretations. By relying on aconsistent theoretical approach the authors present an unusually balanced evaluation. They come to convincing, though rather skeptical conclusions. Civil society participation in EU governance is not the democratic remedy its advocates had hoped for. This may not be a welcome but nevertheless it is animportant finding both for European decision-makers, for civil society organizations and for scholars.

Despite a substantial legacy of literature on EU interest representation, there is no systematic analysis available on whether a European model of interest representation in EU governance is detectable across functional, and territorial, categories of actors. ‘Functional’ actors include associations for business interests, the professions, and trade unions, as well as ‘NGOs’ and social movements; territorial based entities include public actors (such as regional and local government), as well as actors primarily organised at territorial level. What are the similarities and differences between territorial, and functional, based entities, and are the similarities greater than the differences? Are the differences sufficient to justify the use of different analytical tools? Are the differences within these categories more significant than those across them? Is there a ‘professionalised European lobbying class’ across all actor types? Does national embeddedness make a difference? Which factors explain the success of actors to participate in European governance?This book was originally published as special issue of Journal of European Integration.

Europäisierung der Interessenvermittlung

Christine Quittkat untersucht, wie sich die Europäisierung der Interessenvermittlung französischer Wirtschaftsverbände gestaltet. Sie zeigt in der empirischen Analyse, dass sich nicht nur die französischen Verbandsstrukturen mit der Einbindung in die europäische Politikgestaltung verändern. Mit der Orientierung französischer Wirtschaftsverbände nach Europa sind auch die französischen Staat-Verbände-Beziehungen einem Wandel unterworfen. Allerdings bleiben in Frankreich etatistische Denk- und Interaktionsmuster trotz veränderter, stärker partnerschaftlicher Beziehungen zwischen Staat und Wirtschaftsverbänden weiterhin prägend.
