Reviews
'This book makes a vital intervention in the debate on European constitutionalism at a time when the foundations seem to be crumbling under the combined pressure of the Eurozone crisis, the refugee crisis and the latest terrorists massacres. It shows a deeper and multi-faceted self-constitutionalization of Europe at work: a self-constitutionalization which is not limited merely to the surface of law and politics. The contributors move far beyond the by-now almost arid ground of constitutional pluralism.'
Kaarlo Tuori, University of Helsinki, Finland
'This fascinating book mirrors the ongoing European crisis, oscillating in its reaction between normalisation and contestation. This creates constructive tensions: normalisation is not simply defensive Union praise but seeks fundamental theoretical renewal; contestation documents suffering, empathy and passion. With such dynamics, there is still hope for a European future.'
