Book Description
The European Convention presented its Draft Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe on 18 July 2003. It is the result of a pan-European debate in the Convention and the European media. The academic analysis of the future constitution also requires a European debate, and the European Constitutional Law Network is understands itself as a forum for this debate (www.ecln.net). In the present volume, twelve constitutional and European lawyers from different old and new Member States present their conclusions on different aspects of the Conventionís draft constitutional Treaty. The individual essays focus on general issues of constitutional theory, die future institutional balance, the delimitation of competences, the Charter of Fundamental Rights and specific policy issues such as foreign affairs. Thus, the results of the fourth ECLN conference in autumn 2003 in Lisbon are an important contribution to the emerging European debate on the implications of the future Constitution for Europe.

Book Description
This paper presents the complete text of the draft constitution (parts I to IV) prepared by the Convention on the Future of Europe, along with the conclusions from the European Councils held at Laeken (December 2001) and Thessaloniki (June 2003). The Convention was established as a forum for discussing wide-ranging reforms, particularly taking into account the consequences of EU enlargement. The draft Treaty drawn up as a result of these discussions contains proposals relating to its institutional framework; the role of national parliaments and the relationship between the member states and the Union; and measures to improve the clarity, transparency, accountability and efficiency of its decision-making processes.

Book Description
The European Union is now entering a crucial phase as the ratification process accelerates and key debates and referenda take place in existing and potentially new member states. The Union’s Constitutional treaty is often cast as either a blueprint for a centralized and protectionist super-state or as the triumph of Anglo-Saxon economics. Yet it has been little read, particularly in the United Kingdom. This book puts this right by publishing the full text of the crucial first part of the document and showing that it does not justify either of the extreme interpretations imposed on it. Written by two experts of the treaties, Understanding the European Constitution sets the Constitutional Treaty in context, examining its main themes and content and considering the implications of any rejection. It does this in uncomplicated language and with the help of explanatory tables and a glossary. Those who wish to make a considered verdict on the basis of the facts will find it invaluable.

Book Description
The aim of this publication is an analysis of the process of European constitutionalisation and its entanglement with relevant national discourses. Thus, national constitutional traditions in Austria, France, Germany and the United Kingdom are evaluated with regard to the positions of the respective national representatives in the European Convention. Interviews with Members of National Parliaments and of the European Parliament as well as a content analysis of the debate on the future of Europe in print media form the empirical basis of this study.

Book Description
In June 2003, the Convention on the Future of Europe released what may become the Constitution of the European Union. This timely volume provides one of the first critical assessments of the draft Constitution from the vantage point of political theory. The work combines detailed institutional analysis with normative political theory, bringing theoretical analysis to bear on the pressing issues of institutional design answered - or bypassed - by the draft Constitution. It addresses several themes that play out differently in federal arrangements than in unitary political orders: * European values, especially the legitimate role of alleged common values * liberty and powers - how does the draft Constitution address competing normative preferences? * the European interest: the noble words regarding common European objectives and values are often muddled or conflated, different actors intending quite different things. Several chapters contribute to clarifying the different senses of these terms.
