The role of the member states in the EU as well as the impact of the EU on the member states are discussed, as is the role of political parties and epistemic communities. Various aspects of bargaining are touched upon, from the perspectives of rationalism and constructivism as well as from theories on European integration. Norms of democratic governance are used to evaluate the workings of the EU.
