Focusing on the European Union's unique constitution, this study delves into the complex constitutional issues that have emerged since its formation. It highlights the EU's pluralist nature and provides insights into significant reform processes, particularly during Laeken and Lisbon. By drawing parallels with Canadian constitutional experiences, the authors present a comprehensive history of European constitutional law, underpinned by a new theory of constitutional synthesis, making it essential for those interested in European integration theory and practice.

Two preeminent Norwegian scholars of politics and law offer a comprehensive first-hand account of Norway's relationship with the EU and how this affects the country's legal and political system, setting out what Britain can learn from Norway's experience and how transferable these lessons are.

This new book tackles the challenges of forging a legitimate constitution for the European Union. The EU is currently in the midst of a comprehensive process of reform. These leading authors clarify its constitutional status, taking stock of the European Charter of Fundamental Rights and Convention of the Future of Europe as vehicles to foster and create a European constitution. This engaging new study is an excellent resource for all readers with research and professional interests in this dynamic area.
