Reviews

A brilliant and outstanding work on European constitutionalism, written from a critical democratic point of view. Sharply argued, clearly articulated, and enthralling, this book offers a persuasive argument for carrying the European project forward.--Hauke Brunkhorst


This breakthrough book provides new tools for understanding the distinctive features of the EU's constitutional development--and thereby permits a deeper understanding of the EU's place in the larger world of Western constitutionalism. -- Ackerman, Bruce The theory of constitutional synthesis is a well-argued exercise in normative realism. The authors' intense long-term cooperation across disciplines is clearly visible and has paid off handsomely. -- Joerges, Christian A brilliant and outstanding work on European constitutionalism, written from a critical democratic point of view. Sharply argued, clearly articulated, and enthralling, this book offers a persuasive argument for carrying the European project forward. -- Brunkhorst, Hauke Emerging from a masterful blend of interdisciplinary scholarship and intellectual ambition, this theoretical perspective makes visible the normative, analytical, and practical merits of a post-state and post-national understanding of the EU. -- Schmalz-Bruns, Rainer Historically erudite and broad in its scope, this book explains why and how essential parts of Union law have been severed from the original common constitutional template and have begun to unravel the common bond. A timely and important attempt to address the unfolding crisis. -- Somek, Alexander Cogently argued and accessible to a broad audience, this volume successfully addresses many of the key issues relating to the ongoing constitutionalization of the European Union. Fossum and Menendez offer an astute analysis that succeeds in relating European developments to constitutional trends in North America and elsewhere. Highly recommended! -- Scheuerman, William E.
