| Research Abstract |
This project explored the transformation of democratic structures in Europe under multiple-level governance, especially since 2009 when the Lisbon Treaty came into force but the Euro crisis was also taking place. Through our surveys sent to researchers and experts/representatives as well as our case studies on the European Union, the Member States, and some cities, we have come to the following conclusion.
1. Cognition of multiple-level governance and belonging/identity are broadly found among both researchers and experts/representatives.2. More impacts of the EU and the Member States levels but less influence of the sub-national level are observed in many policy areas such as economy, finance, social policy, environment, energy, security, except for education.3. The opinion is divided in half about the impact of the Euro crisis-whether it will drive forward more integration or it will slow down integration to rescue it.
