ABSTRACT
The European Union (EU) has experienced multiple crises since 2008. But has it experienced a legitimacy crisis, or, in other words, a crisis that calls into question its very ability to operate as a justifiable form of political power? Do we even know what it would be for the EU to experience a legitimacy crisis? Worse, might it even be a mistake to assume the EU belongs to that category of political order that can experience a legitimacy crisis?
