This panel focuses on the reconstitution of democracy in Europe from a citizens’ perspective. Contributions should highlight public contention over European integration as a normative project and the allocation of democracy. This may include comparative empirical as well as theoretically grounded research on the repercussions of European integration for democratic practices in the member states, highlighting the level of mass publics, organised civil society, parliamentary discourses, and collective identity constructions. The general question explored across these different socio-political fields is whether these evolving practices indicate the transformation of democracy, how and in which direction. More specifically, the panel in a comparative perspective assesses divergence and convergence of old and new member states, for reviewing four processes: (1) rise of Euroscepticism, (2) new politics of European civil society; 3) Europeanisation of national parliamentary debates; (4) re-construction of national and European identities.
