Opis

The early 1990s witnessed a wave of populist disaffection from their representative elites, who came to be regarded as promoting an agenda of European integration that did not attach sufficient importance to the general public's concerns. The 1994 European Elections focused public attention on this crisis and the 16 contributors to this symposium critically assess the diagnosis of the ailment and the solutions that have been canvassed to remedy its causes and consequences.

The 1994 European Elections focused public attention on the perception that representatives put integration above public interest. The contributors here critically assess the diagnosis of the ailment and the solutions that have been canvassed to remedy its causes and consequences.
