The structure of the book is designed to combine the overall view on the role of elections in shaping the future European project with relevant case studies.     The reader is given a perspective not only on the results of the European Parliament elections as such, but also on how these results are related to national trends which pre-exist and what kind of collateral effects on the quality of democracy they could have.
