520 _a"This book provides a contextual analysis of the constitution of the European Union which, unlike most constitutions, does not belong to a state. It illustrates that the EU is an international organization that has moved beyond the features of international law into a terrain very close to the municipal law of federal states. It explores the judicial impact of the European Court of Justice and the legislative role of the Commission and European Parliament. It shows a unique example of constitutionalism writ large: legal doctrines, institutional arrangements, political practices, and their implications for legitimacy and democracy. This fascinating book will appeal to EU lawyers and comparative constitutional lawyers, as well as political scientists"--
