The Convention on the Future of Europe: Working Towards an EU Constitution: Federal Trust

This new study explores issues of legitimacy and subsidiarity in the debate about the future of Europe. It looks at the assumptions behind the Constitutional Convention and its working methods, as well as its implications for reform processes in the European Union. It also analyzes the concept of subsidiarity, both from the perspective of the division of powers, and as a factor legitimizing the political structures of Europe. The book also provides an analytical analysis of how the Constitutional Convention ties in the broader constitutionalization process of the European Union.
