Problems of Democratic Accountability in Network and Multilevel Governance (2007, unknown): “…so the Commission can adjust its policy, they contribute to managing, monitoring and evaluating EU projects, and their involvement helps to win acceptance" (Kohler-Koch 2000: 525) 9 According to Wolf (2002: 40), “the primary normative guideline for governance is not democracy but legitimacy“.”
Codecision since Amsterdam: a laboratory for institutional innovation and change (2003, background): “…of parliamentarism at the European level, the policy-making style of the EU continues to emphasize consensual problem-solving and expertise at the expense of attributes traditionally associated with democracy such as party-political conflicts or open debates (Kohler-Koch 2000; Lewis 2000).”
Responsibility and Environmental Governance (2004, background): “Similarly, taking non-governmental organisations (NGOs) as ‘representatives’ of civil society [Kohler-Koch, 2000: 525] and considering their growing involvement in the policy process as citizen-empowering and as a means for acquainting institutions with popular moods, looks rather simplistic.”
