While the European Union prides itself on the democratic character of its Member States and has adopted many institutional reforms to this end, deep divides persist between the different Member States. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Promise of EU Democracy: Reconnecting European Citizens? \u003c\/em\u003ebrings together legal scholars, political scientists, and historians to offer a comprehensive assessment of the EU's capacity to forge democracy across borders.
