Opis

European constitutionalisation has met with scepticism – this book analyses the steps necessary to move to EU's 'Second Constitution'.

Recenzje

'Europe's Second Constitution offers a rich and powerful reminder that while incremental change is a natural development in every 'living' constitution, there must nonetheless also be 'constitutional moments' when a generation leaps forward to address the problems of the future. Europe today requires such a leap - and this wonderful new contribution explores the obstacles in the past and present that continue to block a 'second' EU Constitution.' Robert Schütze, Professor of European and Global Law, Durham Law School and College of Europe, Bruges
