The democratic legitimacy of European Security and Defence Policy
Wolgang Wagner
Occasional Paper No. 57
April 2005
Abstract
Since the EU has assumed responsibility for military operations, questions of democratic legitimacy have become more prominent in European Security and Defence Policy (ESDP). Although democracy has been a contested concept, four 'pillars' can be distinguished that contribute to a democratically legitimate ESDP. This Occasional Paper analyses each of these pillars.
