This volume examines the interrelationship between democratic legitimacy at the European level and the ongoing Eurozone crisis that began in 2010.
\nEurope's crisis of legitimacy stems from 'governing by rules and ruling by numbers' in the sovereign debt crisis, which played havoc with the eurozone economy while fueling political discontent. Using the lens of democratic theory, the book assesses the legitimacy of EU governing activities first in terms of their procedural quality ('throughput'), by charting EU actors' different pathways to legitimacy, and then evaluates their policy effectiveness ('output') and political responsiveness ('input'). In addition to an engaging and distinctive analysis of Eurozone crisis governance and its impact on democratic legitimacy, the book offers a number of theoretical insights into the broader question of the functioning of the EU and supranational governance more generally.
\nIt concludes with proposals for how to remedy the EU's problems of legitimacy, reinvigorate its national democracies, and rethink its future.

The Badia Fiesolana is the EUI’s hub. Opened in 1976, it houses the office of the President, the office of the Secretary General, the Institute’s library, the Department of Political and Social Sciences, the Academic Service, the Real Estate and Facilities Service, part of the Budget and Financial Affairs Service and the Communications Service.

Ph.D. researchers now walk where pagan cults once wandered, on a site which was also claimed by Christians for the first cathedral of Fiesole.
The latter group claimed that Christian martyrs were thrown into the well; an account that the founder of the present buildings tested by dipping his glove into the well and recovered it dripping with blood.
The 15th century church – which is still used for the annual EUI conferring ceremony and other events – stands on the site of the 11th century one and includes a marble façade from the 12th century of a style seen throughout Florence. The attached monastery was inhabited by Fiesole bishops that spent the 12th century embroiled in disputes with Camaldolese abbots from Arezzo province, and three centuries later the Badia reached such economic hardship it had to be bailed out by the pope.
Cosimo ‘the elder’, of the Medici political dynasty, funded the construction of the Badia complex and “thought how that place ought to be lived in by excellent and lettered men, and for this took thought to make a worthy library there,” according to a bookseller at the time. This wish was however interrupted in 1520 when the Badia was temporarily used as a hospice for the incurables of Florence’s syphilis epidemic.
Less than a decade later Charles V used the Badia for his troops’ headquarters during the siege of Florence, damaging much of the interior and cutting down the surrounding vines and olive trees.
During the following centuries the Badia was at different times a summer residence for bishops, a printing and engraving shop and civilian housing. The Italian government offered the building as the home of the EUI and after extensive work the Badia was transformed into the space we see today.

The sea was a linguistic contact zone where language boundaries were multiple, shifting, and eclectic. To this point, however, women have been marginal to this developing discourse. This lecture will attempt to redress this imbalance through an examination of some of the ways that women navigated and participated in the multilingual Mediterranean, and in particular the contexts and methods in which they acquired linguistic skills. Where men often experienced linguistic diversity in certain political, religious, military or economic contexts, women did so in a range of settings important in their own lives: homes, public baths, marital beds, nurseries, markets, workshops, slave emporia, convents, palaces, infirmaries, embassies, brothels, and networks of correspondence. The diverse spaces that women inhabited ultimately enabled rather than obstructed their multilingual discourse. They served as arenas in which women were exposed to and acquired linguistic varieties and multilingual communication skills, and in which women often educated each other in languages.

Successive generations of Salviati were residents at the villa between 1490 and 1794. Over the centuries, it housed great art and great people, from the infamous Medici to Pope Leo X and Garibaldi. It was plundered and burned during the Medici banishment and carefully renovated, generation after generation, to keep up with the fashions of house and garden.
After the Salviati era, the villa experienced a notable era as a political hub for supporters of the Risorgimento. However, from the mid-nineteenth century onwards, it changed hands many times. Apart from a brief spell during WWII when the building gave shelter to local Florentines and a great deal of valuable artwork, Villa Salviati was neglected and largely inaccessible to the public.
In 2000, the Italian state purchased the villa to house the Historical Archives of the European Union (HAEU). Today the immaculately restored building and gardens are also home to the European University Institute’s Law and History Departments and the Academy of European Law.

His book on The Nationalization of Politics (Cambridge University Press, 2004) was awarded the Stein Rokkan Prize for Comparative Social Science Research and was followed by The Europeanization of Politics (Cambridge University Press, 2015). The theoretical perspective that pervades the analysis of nationalisation, Europeanisation and globalisation addresses the interplay between territorial and functional cleavages, in particular the left−right class dimension and the politicisation of inequality. This approach entails a strong historical dimension reaching back to the first phases of mass democratisation, state building, nationalism and industrialisation in the 19th century.\n\nThis work is complemented by research on transnational voting rights and the transformation of democratic, pluralist representation through the tension between populist nationalism and technocratic supra-national integration.

This land was known as ‘Schifanoja’ or ‘Schivenoglia’, meaning a place where to get rid of ‘la noia’, or boredom. In fact, it is thought that Villa Palmieri (which still exists, and is just across the road from Villa Schifanoia) was the setting of some of 14th-century Decameron stories, by Italian author Giovanni Boccaccio: a place where young people sought refuge from a bubonic plague epidemic and kept themselves entertained.
The original central structure of the villa dates from that period: built on two floors, with a large portico on the ground floor facing South and opening onto a large terrace. Two staircases connect the terrace to the beautiful gardens.
From the mid-15th century the villa was owned by the Cresci family, who made their fortune as merchants and dyers, before passing through Italian hands – bought, inherited or gifted as a dowry – for the following centuries.
Until the eighteenth century the external structure remained unchanged except for the garden which was progressively transformed into a ‘giardino all’italiana’ based on symmetry, axial geometry and order.
When the Ciacchi family, a noble family linked to the papal Curia, took over the property of the villa in the second half of the eighteenth century, they clearly wanted to leave a mark: in 1847 they built a small chapel dedicated to Saint Thomas and indeed several architectural elements of both the chapel and the villa are emblazoned with their family emblem.
The 20th century was marked by foreign ownership, including Australian, British and American. The character and atmosphere of Villa Schifanoia changed: from being the Summer residence on the hills of Florence for aristocratic local families to entering the cosmopolitan circle of the city’s Anglophone community, and becoming the main - although often only temporary - residence of its owners, a place where prosperity, culture and glamour would meet.
In 1927, the Villa was bought by the wealthy American businessman Myron C. Taylor and his wife. Taylor was also an antique collector and passionate historian; he made the Villa’s gardens bigger and made sure it was well kept.
In 1939 Taylor was nominated the personal representative of the US President to Pope Pio XII; Villa Schifanoia then became a place where personalities from the political and financial worlds would meet and where the American diplomat would hold.
In 1941, Taylor donated the villa to the Catholic Church, who installed the Little Company of Mary as directors of a Rosary College, an artistic and cultural educational institute for young American girls. The school closed in the 1980s and In 1986 the Italian government bought the Villa to make it one of the European University Institute (EUI) seats. From August 2016 Villa Schifanoia is home to the Robert Schuman Center for Advanced Studies.

Villa Schifanoia is about 150 metres down the road on the right hand side after the traffic lights. The Cappella is the small building next to the Villa.
