Zjawisko deficytu demokratyczności w Unii Europejskiej a reformy Traktatu z Lizbony

Journal Title: Historia i Polityka - Year 2011, Vol 0, Issue 5

Abstract

European Union is a specific political system of intergovernmental cooperation with multi level governance and complicated decision making procedures. One of the consequences of this is that the role of citizens during the policy making process is not as strong as it is in national systems. It is called ‘democratic deficit’. Treaty of Lisbon delivers some changes on that field. It creates for example citizens’ law initiative and delivers more competences to the European Parliament (via widening the co-decision procedure). However, despite that it appears that the most important factor of strengthening the social influence on the policy making process in the EU is the civil activeness and ability to self organize.
