    An Alternative Approach to European Union Democratization: Re-Examining the Direct Election of the Commission President
    in Government and Opposition , Vol. 46, n. 2, April ,  2011 ,  168-191
    A successful reform of any system of governance must be well informed of the system's own functional logic. In the context of its democratization, this article explores whether the institutional arrangement of the European Union has developed or behaves more like a presidential than a parliamentary system. Building on that, the authors re-examine the opportunities and feasibility of realizing that model as a step towards more democracy in European governance.
