Abstract
The European Union is increasingly a model for other organisations around the world, from ASEAN to the Eurasian Economic Union. This paper analyses the EU as a partly-federal and partly-confederal body, and argues that its hybrid nature and corresponding lack of governmental and institutional clarity lead to an accountability deficit. This deficit may be exploited by Eurosceptic parties, causing the EU to be held accountable at an institutional level.
