The Many Constitutions of Europe cover

This volume makes a contribution to the ongoing lively discussion on European constitutionalism by offering a new perspective and a new interpretation of European constitutional plurality. The book combines diverse disciplinary approaches to the constitutional debate. It brings together complementing contributions from scholars of European politics, economics, and sociology, as well as established scholars from various fields of law. Moreover, it provides analytical clarity to the discussion and combines theory with more practical and critical approaches that make use of the constitutional toolbox in analysing the tensions between the different constitutions. The collection is a valuable point of reference not only for scholars interested in European studies but also for graduate and post-graduate students.

'This is a rich and innovative collection. By exploring what constitutionalism means in various fields of law, it offers a much needed new perspective on one of the most important developments in law of the last decade.' Jan Smits, Tilburg University, The Netherlands 'This work makes a timely and valuable contribution. Too often books on constitutional order within the European Union stay, whatever their ideological perspectives, within a Public Law and Human rights perspective, this book breaks new ground in also looking at the relationship of this to European Private Law.' Zenon Bankowski, Edinburgh Law School, UK '... well-written, detailed, precise, clear and very interesting analysis, at times highly theoretical, sometimes critical, of the European multi-dimensional constitutionalism. It will serve as a point of reference not only for those who are interested in the European constitutionalism but everyone interested in European integration and the debate on the future of the European construction, both academics and students. The book offers new perspectives to the way we think about constitutionalism and the European constitution, and opens new areas for the academic research. Above all, it will facilitate a dialogue on the European constitution.' Common Market Law Review
