Learning from the EU Constitutional Treaty

Democratic Constitutionalization beyond the Nation-State

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The negative results of referenda on the European Union (EU) Constitutional Treaty in France and the Netherlands, and subsequent low-key adoption of the Treaty of Lisbon raise complex questions about the possible democratization of international organisations. This book provides a full analysis of the EU Constitutional Treaty process, grounded in broader political theoretical debates about democratic constitutionalisation and globalization.
