The Crisis Governance of the European Union - More Responsibility Requires More Democratic Legitimacy
From the euro crisis, the migration crisis,to Brexit and the struggle for the rule of law, to dealing with the COVID-19pandemic and Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, crisis management hasbecome the normal state of European politics. Under pressure from these crises,the EU has taken far-reaching decisions and introduced new instruments thatwere not explicitly, provided for in the EU treaties. Against this background,Nicolai von Ondarza addresses overarching questions for the functioning of theUnion: What key features have emerged in its decision-making processes to dealwith the crises of the last decade? To what extent were the EU’s crisis-drivenspecial measures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic democraticallylegitimate? What reforms should be envisaged to strengthen the democraticlegitimacy of the decisions taken by the EU in the context of its “crisisgovernance”?
