The Democratic Quality of European Security and Defence Policy Summary

The Democratic Quality of European Security and Defence Policy: Between Practices of Governance and Practices of Freedom by Evangelos Fanoulis (Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University, China)

Due to the increase of security challenges in the proximity of Europe, the prominence of the EU's Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) has augmented. This book is a systematic effort to empirically approach the democratic deficit of CSDP, to understand its social construction and propose ways to remedy it.

The book uses Foucault's approach of governmentality to unravel the social construction of this deficit and to illuminate the power relations between the different actors participating in CSDP governance and the constraints upon them. Finally, applying the normative reading of agonistic democracy, the author suggests concrete ways for EU citizens to have a say in the political choices of statesmanship in CSDP governance.

The Democratic Quality of European Security and Defence Policy will be of key interest to scholars, students and practitioners of EU foreign and security policy and more broadly of European governance, European Politics and democracy.

The Democratic Quality of European Security and Defence Policy Reviews

'Evans Fanoulis provides an excellent empirical and theoretical analysis of the democratic deficits of CSDP policy using a governmentality approach adapted from Foucault. He then draws on research in agonistic democracy and trust-building to show how practices of civic engagement could overcome these deficits. This careful study also has important implications for democratic participation in the EU more generally.' - James Tully, University of Victoria, Canada.

'This is an authoritatively written text, sparkled with conceptual innovation, rich empirical analysis and convincing arguments. It is strongly recommended to all academics and students interested in the subject of CSDP governance.' - Emil Kirchner, University of Essex, UK.

'This is a timely study. It is especially valuable to both scholars and practitioners concerned to explore the complexities of the current European Union debate over defence and security issues. The author has combined theoretical insight with details of empirical analysis to produce a major work effectively challenging the conventional wisdom.' - J. Spence OBE FKC, Kings College London, UK.

'This book provides a very original and significant contribution to the literature on the democratic deficit, especially in the area of European Security and Defence Policy. It is a must read for all scholars and students wondering how we can create a better Europe, which is particularly important after the recent Brexit vote. Fanoulis provides a highly original agonistic democracy framework, which will enhance our understanding of the European Union more generally. I highly recommend this book.' - Christian Kaunert, Institute for European Studies, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium.

'By using and applying the post-positivist notion of governmentality, Fanoulis will especially please supporters of the Foucauldian notion of governmentality and those scholars interested in the study of legitimacy in the making of the European security and defence policy.' - Nele Marianne Ewers-Peters, 2017. Book review in the European Security Journal.
