Introduction: The EU's Pouvoir Constituant Mixte – Exploring the Systematic Potential of an Innovative Category
本文介绍哈贝马斯的混合制宪权概念，即欧盟民主合法性应来自欧洲公民和国家公民双重主体，并概述该概念在欧盟民主辩论中的定位及研讨会贡献。
Abstract According to Jürgen Habermas's notion of pouvoir constituant mixte , the EU needs to derive its democratic legitimacy from a dual subject, consisting of the community of European citizens on the one hand and the communities of state citizens on the other. In this introduction, I outline some of the basic ideas behind the pouvoir constituant mixte , situate the category within wider debates about democracy in the EU and the future of European integration, and provide a brief summary of the symposium contributions.
