摘要

No one could accuse Larry Siedentop of lacking nerve. By calling his book "Democracy in Europe" he is at once inviting comparisons with, and perhaps hoping for comparisons to, Alexis de Tocqueville's "Democracy in America". Still, the title was obviously irresistible. Just as de Tocqueville brought the eye of an unbiased European to bear upon the still-integrating United States of the 1830s, so Mr Siedentop brings the eye of an unbiased American, albeit one who has spent the past 40 years at Oxford University, to bear upon the still-integrating Europe of today. Moreover, democracy is very much the heart of the matter. De Tocqueville was struck by its vigour in America. Mr Siedentop is struck by its feebleness in Europe. Is European unification, he asks, doomed to go through a "more or less despotic phase"? Without answering that question with a straight yes, he concludes that Europe is not yet ready for federalism.
