Eurocratising Enlargement? EU Elites and NGO Participation in European Environmental Policy
As the enlargement of the European Union (EU) draws close, democratic concerns remain as to the institutional and procedural design of this emerging polity. This contribution explores this concern by investigating how the informal politics of environmental policymaking shape both public involvement and democratic legitimacy. Interviews with officials from the EU suggest that a top-down, technocratic approach to policymaking increases the gap betw…

In addition to finding strong levels of elite support for the EU, variable political integration, and …
