This book is distinguished by its use of the antebellum US
experience as a foil to address the under-explored question of what
makes the EU viable. The nature of political conflict in both cases
is defined in terms of four contested rules of the game: state
sovereignty, federal competences, political representation and
decision-making procedures. Hence, viabilty is conceptualized as
the ability to find an agreement over these four elements.
The analysis shows that, to remain viable, the antebellum USA
resorted to an ultimately untenable voluntary centralization of
these rules of the game. Conversely, the EU has maintained a
dynamic equilibrium, although this is not a self-reinforcing
process. The transatlantic contrast is then used to examine
proposals for reforming the EU, especially its system of political
representation. The comparison reveals that, despite high
expectations, changing the system of representation is no shortcut
solution for the EU's constitutional woes.
