International Affairs
"Hix's research makes a convincing case that left-right
divisions have deeply penetrated policymaking in the parliament,
the council and the commission. Missing is a contest for political
power and policymaking between rival groups and policies, with
clear winners and losers and a visible link between voting,
leadership and outcome."
Irish Times
"[A] short and highly readable book, which began life as a
series of policy papers written for the UK government."
Ethics and International Affairs
"Simon Hix's analysis is as authoritative as his case for reform
is compelling. Reasoned, rigorous and riveting, this book is a
must-read for all who care about the future of the European
Union."
Sir Stephen Wall
"An exceptionally clear and provocative argument in favour of
'limited democratic politics' in the EU, showing precisely how it
could be applied to the 2009 European elections."
Michael Shackleton, Secretariat of the European
Parliament
"Simon Hix is among the leading political analysts of the
European Union of his generation. Here he offers a critical yet
balanced analysis of Europe's 'democratic deficit', linked to
pragmatic proposals for reform. Whether one agrees or not, this
slim and readable volume is required reading for anyone seriously
concerned about the constitutional future and political legitimacy
of Europe."
Andrew Moravcsik, Princeton University
