| Summary/Abstract |
It is commonly argued that European integration is a project of elites, but a project challenged by the masses whenever they find the opportunity to express themselves. The negative results of the Dutch and French referenda on the Constitutional Treaty of the European Union (EU) in 2005 and the similar result of the Irish referendum on the Reform Treaty in 2008 are cited as exampes of this discrepancy between the elites and the masses.
