PALGRAVE STUDIES IN EUROPEAN UNION POLITICS T...

This open access book focuses on the importance that EU politicization has gained in European
democracies and the consequences for voting behaviour in six countries of the EU: Belgium 
Germany  Greece  Ireland  Portugal and Spain. Most of the studies which research the way the EU
is being legitimised focus on the European Parliament elections. In this book we argue that to
understand how EU accountability works  it is necessary to focus instead on national elections
and the national political environment. Through a detailed  multimethod analysis this book
establishes rigorously the paths of European accountability at the national level  its
propitious contexts in the media and parliamentary debates  and whether the paths are similar
from Greece to Germany. The findings have implications for both national and European Union
democracy  underlining the importance that national institutions have in enabling citizens to
hold the EU accountable.
