| dc.description.abstract | How should a European Citizens’ Assembly (ECA) relate to the European Parliament (EP) and the other institutions of the EU? In her lead essay, Kalypso Nicolaidis proposes a complementary role for the ECA. Richard Bellamy is sceptical that an assembly of randomly selected citizens will improve trust in European democracy. Cristina Lafont & Nadia Urbinati, Sandra Seubert, Daniel Freund and Jelena Džankić see useful consultative tasks for such an assembly vis-à-vis the EP and the Commission, which would amount to a subordinate role for an ECA. By contrast, Yves Sintomer, Alvaro Oleart and Brett Hennig advocate for a more competitive relation and transformative role, in which the ECA would ‘prefigure’ a new model of democracy 3.0 that gives stronger weight to the agenda of protest movements, the interests of the Global South and of future generations. Finally, Svenja Ahlhaus & Eva Schmidt keep the question of the ECA’s relation to existing political institutions open by arguing that the design of an ECA should depend on whether its task is to enhance transparency, to counter the hegemony of dominant interests, or to overcome reform deadlocks. | en |
