The Worlds of European Constitutionalism, Paperback / softback Book

The Worlds of European Constitutionalism Paperback / softback

Edited by Grainne (Harvard University, Massachusetts) de Burca, J. H. H. (New York University) Weiler

Part of the Contemporary European Politics series

Paperback / softback

Description

The idea of the EU as a constitutional order has recently taken on renewed life, as the Court of Justice declared the primacy of EU law not just over national constitutions but also over the international legal order, including the UN Charter.

This book explores the nature and character of EU legal and political authority, and the complex analytical and normative questions which the notion of European constitutionalism raises, in both the EU's internal and its external relations.

The book culminates in a dialogical epilogue in which the authors' arguments are questioned and challenged by the editor, providing a unique and stimulating approach to the subject.

By bringing together leading constitutional theorists of the European Union, this book offers a sharp, challenging and engaging discussion for students and researchers alike.
