A comprehensive account of how EU governments signal responsiveness to the interests of their citizens over European policies.

'Schneider's argument is impressive in terms of both the simplicity of her message and the sophistication of her data collection and analysis. Her book is sure to become a touchstone in debates about Europe's 'democratic deficit'.' Erik Jones, Survival
