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, both in the EU's internal and its external relations.
The book culminates in an interactive 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.
