Koordinace hospodářských politik států EU a demokratický deficit

This bachelor thesis deals with the economic policy coordination of EU countries and the democratic deficit. The goal of this thesis is to evaluate to what extent did the new coordination mechanism affect the state of the democratic deficit in the EU. The first part of this thesis introduces the issue of the democratic deficit in the EU framework. Subsequently, this thesis deals with the coordination mechanism of EU national economic policies in the context of the eurozone debt crisis. I reach the evaluation of the overall effect of the current economic coordination of EU countries on the EU democratic deficit by considering the democratic legitimacy and position of the individual institutional subjects within the coordination mechanism.
