year = {2016},
note = {Not the least during the Euro crisis, the European Union has become
subject to open public contestation. This politicization creates
opposition to European institutions and their policies, but it also
raises public awareness about the relevance and the potential of
pol­it­ical decision-making beyond the nation state. Europe thus
faces a critical juncture: On the one hand, the traditionally
technocratic path of European integration seems hardly promising
anymore. On the other hand, public politicization creates the
necessary conditions to set European integration on a more democratic
path. The long term effects of the politicization will depend on
whether supranational and national political elites are able and
willing to offer institutional channels for societal debates on
European integration.},
