'What is the European construct and how to evaluate its current crisis? This book deserves a place of honor in the debate on the Union. … The authors of this book revisit Joseph Weiler's foundational analysis of the European Union and provide a key to the understanding of successes and failures of this experiment … [whilst also] capturing the essence of the European experiment. This work will likely influence public debate on the crisis of the Union. … A critical re-appraisal of an important book and, in the meantime, a diagnosis of the current crisis of the European Union. … A thoughtful and reasoned book about successes and failures of the European Union.' Sabino Cassese, Former Justice, Italian Constitutional Court
