The Euroacademia International Conference aims to survey some of current debates and addresses once more the challenges of the EU polity in a context of multiple crises that confronted Europe in recent years. It supports a transformative view that involves balanced weights of optimism and pessimism in a belief that the unfold of current events and the way EU deals with delicate problems will put an increased pressure in the future on matters of accountability and will require some institutional adjustments that address democratic requirements for decision making. However in its present shape and context the EU does not look able to deliver soon appropriate answers to democratic demands. In a neo-functionalist slang one can say as an irony that the actual crisis in the EU legitimacy is a „spillover‟ effect of institutional choices made some time before. To address the EU‟s democratic deficit however is not to be a sceptic and ignore the benefits that came with it but to acknowledge the increasing popular dissatisfaction with „occult‟ office politics and with the way EU tackles daily problems of public concern while the public is more and more affected by decisions taken at the European level. The conference is organized yet by no means restricted to the following orientative panels: The Politicization of Europe: Desirable or Contestable; Is the EU resembling an Enlightened Despotism?; The EU as a Political System: Features and Curiosities; Redistributive Policies Inside the EU and their Impact on the Medium Voter; European Elections and Strategies for Politicization; European Parties and Party Politics in the European Parliament; Strategies for Bringing European Issues to Public Scrutiny; The Democratic Deficit Issue: A Persistent Anomaly?; In Search of a European Demos; Looking for a European Civil Society; Appropriations and Politicization of Wider European Values and Narratives; Persisting Intergovernmentalism?; EU and Traces of Imperial Politics; EU and identitarian appropriations; Scenarios for Change Inside the EU; The Future of EU Enlargement; Taking Euroscepticism Seriously; Increasing Public Saliency for Supranational Issues; Lobbying and Policy Making Inside the EU.
