Die EU und das Scheitern demokratischen Experimentierens

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Demokratie, Diktatur, Gerechtigkeit

Zusammenfassung

Die EU ist ein bemerkenswertes demokratisches Experiment Noch nie zuvor wurde ein ebenso ambitioniertes demokratisches Projekt über den Nationalstaat hinaus versucht. Dieser Beitrag argumentiert allerdings, dass die Versuche der EU, eine funktionierende Demokratie aufzubauen, gescheitert sind. Dies wiederum erschwert es der EU, schmerzliche Eingriffe in politisch sensible funktionelle Bereiche zu legitimieren. Dass das demokratische Experiment der EU gescheitert ist, bedeutet jedoch nicht, dass wir einfach zu den Nationalstaaten mit ihren parlamentarischen Systemen zurückkehren können. Europa ist ein hoch integriertes System, und wir werden unsere gemeinsamen Bemühungen immer regulieren und legitimieren müssen. Nationale Demokratien sind für den Umgang mit grenzüberschreitender Wirtschaft und Politik nicht gut geeignet. Da Europas erstes demokratisches Experiment gescheitert ist, müssen wir schnell ein anderes, hoffentlich besseres, konzipieren. Der Beitrag wird zwei mögliche Alternativen betrachten und prüfen.
