The euro crisis, rising Euroscepticism, and Brexit have once again highlighted the European Union's unresolved legitimacy deficit. Increasingly, citizens claim to have been illegitimately excluded from decisions about the future of European integration. Movements such as DiEM25 call into question the authority of the states as the 'masters of the treaties'. At the same time, political theory's debate about the EU has become ever more academic. The discipline is preoccupied with the production and refinement of abstract models of democratic constitutionalism whose connection to real politics is thin. This book seeks to develop a new approach to EU legitimacy by reorienting the debate from the question of how the supranational polity should ideally be organized to the question of who is entitled to make that decision and how. To that end, it reformulates the classical notion of constituent power for the context of European integration. This account challenges conventional theoretical assumptions regarding the EU's ultimate source of legitimacy and enables political theory to put to the test the claims of those who challenge the established mode of EU constitutional politics.
Dr Markus Patberg is a research fellow in political theory at the University of Hamburg (UHH) where he is part of the DFG-funded project "Reclaiming Constituent Power? Emerging Counter-Narratives of EU Constitutionalisation". His research interests lie in the field of international political theory, with a particular focus on question of democracy and constitutionalism in the European Union. Prior to joining UHH, he was a research fellow at TU Darmstadt. He has held visiting positions at University College London and the London School of Economics and Political Science.

Markus Patberg's book is one of the best books on European integration I have read in recent years. It is intellectually engaging, provocative, masterfully combines political theory, discourse analysis, and European politics, and proves the importance of an aspect that most scholars have overlooked -- that reflection on constituent power will be needed to solve the problem of European democratic legitimacy.
