Online masterclass: “Responsiveness and Responsibility in Multilevel Europe”

Johannes Karremans, Head of the Master’s in Multilevel Governance in Europe and Professor of political science at ESPOL, is offering a masterclass on the theme “Responsiveness and Responsibility in Multilevel Europe”.

Abstract: Can democracy work in a system with so many rules? Can governments still respond to voters’ demands if they have so many and intrusive European commitments? This lecture will provide a preliminary investigation into these questions, introducing the concepts of democratic responsiveness and institutional responsibility, both of which are at the core of the legitimacy of democracy-as-we-know it.
