How Legitimate is the Open Method of Co-ordination?

Author

  • MILENA BÜCHS

Abstract

This article argues that the OMC's legitimacy can be improved only by strengthening parliamentary channels of input-legitimacy since output-legitimacy alone is inappropriate and cannot be achieved without input-legitimacy. In addition, concepts and practices of direct 'stakeholder' participation currently applied within the OMC are insufficient in strengthening input-legitimacy. Copyright (c) 2008 The Author(s).
