Abstract

As an international organization of integration and project of political union, the European Union (EU) has introduced various mechanisms of citizen participation in the last decade with the aim of reinforcing its democratic legitimacy and popular support. Despite their relevance, these instruments have not had a visible transformative effect on European policies and laws. The Conference on the Future of Europe, as a new participatory forum, aspires to make that qualitative leap in the governance model, by channeling the collective proposals resulting from this process through the regulatory institutional cycle. This new dynamic of political innovation will require systemic changes in citizen representation and participation. It is in this way that a genuinely European public sphere can be shaped so that citizens may identify themselves as the demos of a supranational political community
