With many EU non-majoritarian bodies growing in political influence, this volume sheds light on the inherent tension between independence and legitimacy in the EU's institutional system, and explores ways to reconcile the two.

As EU non-majoritarian bodies such as the European Commission, the Court of Justice of the European Union, and the European Central Bank grow in political influence, many have identified the pressing need to keep these bodies accountable to the repositories of the EU's democratic legitimacy. This collection of essays sheds light on the inherent tension between independence and legitimacy in the EU's institutional system and explores the options of reconciling the two. Featuring analysis from both legal and political perspectives, the volume assesses whether, to what extent, and how it is possible to control the various EU independent bodies and make them answerable for what they do, while at the same time upholding their independence.

Dominique Ritleng is a Professor of Law at the University of Strasbourg, where he also previously held the position of Vice President. He was formerly a legal clerk at the Court of Justice of the EU.
