To address this question, your paper should use course readings and lecture materials to do the following:
1. Define the “democratic deficit”.
2. Compare/contrast assessments of the “democratic deficit” as detailed in course readings (i.e., look at arguments regarding the democratic deficit posed by Hix, Schmidt, Moravscik and Leonard).
3. Evaluate these arguments, using your understanding of the European Union (e.g., political institutions, public opinion, party politics, and interest aggregation).

4. Use the above to construct your argument as to whether (and where) a “democratic deficit” exists in the EU.
