It develops an original communitarian approach to legitimacy based on Alasdair MacIntyre's ethics of virtues and practices, that can be contrasted with prevalent liberal-egalitarian and neo-republican approaches. Tsakatika argues that a 'responsibility deficit', quite distinct from the often discussed 'democratic deficit', can be diagnosed in the European Union. This is documented in chapters that provide in-depth analysis of accountability, transparency andLegitimacy of governmentsEuropean Union countriesConstitutional lawEuropean Union countriesEuropean Union countriesPolitics and governmentAlasdair MacIntyre.European Union.European governance.accountability.institutional choice.political community.political legitimacy.political responsibility.responsibility deficit.transparency.Legitimacy of governmentsConstitutional law320.011Tsakatika Myrto1584352MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910791946103321Political responsibility and the European Union3868065UNINA
