Whereas `democracy¿ assumes a single demos or people, `demoi-cracy¿ refers to democratic government and governance in a polity constituted by separate peoples. Since the European Union consists of many demoi with different collective identities, largely separate public spheres, and a predominantly national political infrastructure, demoi-cracy is an appropriate standard for the analysis and evaluation of democracy in the EU. This volume brings together analyses of a broad range of institutions and policies of the EU from the perspective of demoi-cracy. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of European Public Policy.
