    Abstract

    This commentary maps European Citizens’ Initiatives (ECIs) that have fostered a European-wide debate and finds common characteristics among the campaigns that remained active following the period of collecting signatures. Despite campaigners’ fears that the current problems in implementing the instrument discourage its use, the authors find that the ECIs have contributed to a European public debate with cross-border communication and the exchange of knowledge among networks of actors.
