It treats the EU as a new type of political system within the tradition of parliamentary democracies, a system which is neither federal nor intergovernmental, and which consequently has unique problems of how to handle democratic requirements. Part One deals with the two major challenges of interest articulation in the EU, political parties and lobbying. 606 $aDemocracy$zEurope 607 $aEurope$xPolitics and government$y1989- 607 $aEuropean Union countries$xPolitics and government 615 0$aDemocracy 676 $a341.2422 701 $aAndersen$b Svein S.$f1952-$01462765 701 $aEliassen$b Kjell A$0148880 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778316203321 996 $aThe European Union, how democratic is it$93766244 997 $aUNINA
