Summary

This book examines the major problems and prospects of the ongoing process of European integration by focusing on the role of the European and national parliaments and their members. Using surveys among members of parliament at the European level and in eleven member states, it offers a "view from within" and new insight and answers to institutional problems in the European Union and the so-called democratic deficit.
