摘　　要：欧盟是一个介于国家和国际组织之间的"独特"组织。按照民主国家的标准要求欧盟,的确存在民主赤字,但如果按照国际组织的要求来看待欧盟,那就根本不存在民主赤字。然而,欧盟毕竟具有了一定的"主权",所以,欧盟在政治一体化的过程中需要大力发展民主,但又不能对欧盟苛求民主,因为与欧盟政治一体化的现状相适应,欧盟离开了民族国家民主的此岸但还没有到达后民族民主的彼岸。我们同样也不能苛求哈贝马斯的民主理论,因为他的民主理论是规范理论,是一种民主的理想状态,现实可能永远都不具备完全实现其民主的条件,但是其价值就体现在对这种理想状态的不断追求之中。European Union （EU） is a ＂unique＂ organization situated between the nation-states and international organizations. Judged by the democratic standard of the nationstates, it indeed has the democratic deficit; but judged by the democratic standard of the international organizations, it simply does not have the democratic deficit. However, it has some ＂sovereignty＂ after all, and therefore it needs to develop democracy rapidly in the process of its political integration. But we can not criticize its democracy in an unfair way, and suited to the present situation of its political integration, it has left this shore of the nation-states ＇ democracy and has not arrived at the other shore of the post-national democracy. Similarly, we cannot criticize Habermas＇ democratic theory in an unfair way, for it is a kind of normative theory, and is a democratic ideal situation. And in reality there may not be forever a condition to completely realize it, but it is valuable for us to pursue this kind of democratic ideal situation unceasingly.
