The Constitution's Gift

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.
