The European Union is increasingly a model for other organisations around the world, from ASEAN to the Eurasian Economic Union. This paper analyses the EU as a partly-federal and partly-confederal body, and argues that its hybrid nature and corresponding lack of governmental and insti-tutional clarity lead to an accountability deficit. This deficit may be exploited by Eurosceptic par-ties, causing the EU to be held accountable at an institutional level.
