Political Actors’ Narratives on the Reforms of the European Union
Future Visions of Europe?
About this book
This book provides essential insights into contemporary political actors' narratives of European integration.
Focusing on the Future of Europe debate in parliaments, the book reveals how the question of democracy in Europe is addressed. Through the lens of differentiation, it explores the numerous nuances within narratives on the EU. Based on an extensive empirical analysis of debates from 11 national parliaments and the European Parliament over a period of seven years (2015–2021), it provides substantial understanding of the circulation of ideas on Europe within and among member states. Finally, the book offers a reflection on reforming the EU and the different constitutional narratives shaping the future of the EU.
This book is of key interest to scholars and students interested in European integration, the European Parliament, democracy and political parties.
