This article studies how efforts to democratize the European Union's (EU) decision-making procedures are reshaped by the growing influence of anti-system parties in Europe. This new political landscape exacerbates a fundamental democratic dilemma for the EU: to either open up, and further democratize its institutions or to work to protect those institutions from the influence of anti-systemic actors. The article analyses how political elites engage with this dilemma by studying a process unfolding from 2010 to 2019 through which reforms to the EU's transnational party system were introduced. Building on extensive interview and debate data the analysis demonstrates that, while a democratizing logic informed early stages of the process, a protective logic gradually became dominant. The article goes on to discuss the possible implications of this shift for the continued democratization of the EU and identifies this dimension in EU politics as a pertinent field for further study.

民主化还是保护?对反系统政党的回应如何重塑欧盟的跨国政党体系

本文研究了欧洲反制度政党日益增长的影响力如何重塑了使欧洲联盟(EU)决策程序民主化的努力。这种新的政治格局加剧了欧盟的根本民主困境:要么开放欧盟,进一步使其机构民主化,要么努力保护这些机构不受反系统行为者的影响。本文通过研究从2010年到2019年间展开的,引入了欧盟跨国党派制度改革的过程,分析了政治精英如何应对这一困境。基于广泛的采访和辩论数据,分析表明,尽管民主化的逻辑为该流程的早期阶段提供了信息,但保护性逻辑逐渐成为主导。
