Résumé :

As the EU is not a state, and not likely to become one in the foreseeable future, it cannot rely on classic institutional devices - parliamentary or presidential regimes - to curb its democratic deficit. The EU is characterized as a Form of multi-level governance with diffuse mechanisms of democratic control. Such a process of democratization is nevertheless not efficient enough to be called democratic.
