In this study the risks and opportunities of the passage from the nation-State to transnationality and original institutional structures, such as the system of multilevel governance, are discussed in the light of a wide-ranging analysis of the transformations of the social bond and of political cultures. With reference to the principles of deliberative and cosmopolitan democracy, focus is then placed in particular on the dynamics of democratic self-construction from the grassroots of European society, which develop from the construction of a transnational public sphere.Democrazia in mutamento La democrazia in mutamento DemocracyEuropean Union countriesDemocracy321320341342327Raffini Luca772502NjHacINjHaclBOOK9910774879103321La democrazia in mutamento2878726UNINA
