GRAĐANI I PARTIJE U IZBORNIM PROCESIMA U EVROPSKOJ UNIJI: PRINCIPALI BEZ UTICAJA, AGENTI BEZ ODGOVORNOSTI?

Maja Kovačević

Sažetak

Predmet rada je razmatranje uloge građana i partija u izbornim procesima u Evropskoj uniji iz perspektive principal-agent teorije. Osnovna teza ovog rada je da je uticaj građana do te mere ograničen da se može slobodno reći da principal gotovo da ne kontroliše agenta. Prvi razlog leži u tome da partije nisu proces evropske integracije učinile značajnim faktorom političke utakmice, što onemogućava efektivno izražavanje volje građana. Drugi razlog leži u fenomenu tzv. izbora ‘drugog reda’ za Evropski parlament što pasivizuje građane. Sve ovo je učinilo da partije, kao agenti, budu nedovoljno odgovorne građanima za delovanje u procesu evropskih integracije, ali finansijska kriza i kriza evrozone dovode do buđenja ‘uspavanog džina’.
