Since its inception, the European Union (EU) has revised its
foundational treaties several times, resulting in national
ratification processes involving different actors, with varying
success. This book focuses on the politics of ratification of EU
Treaties and reviews the processes of ratification of EU primary
legislation. Existing research and academic debate on EU
constitutional politics have almost exclusively focussed on
negotiation of new treaties and their institutional setting.
However, this book explains how the result of ratification was
achieved, and analyses the strategy that actors pursue across
Europe. Ratification of the Treaty of Maastricht and the EU
Constitution failed totally, whilst other ratification can be
considered partial failures such as the Irish Nice and Lisbon
referendums. As the EU Constitution has proved, the ratification
process may have deep effects unforeseen during the processes of
negotiation. In recent years, ratification has produced some of the
most intense debates on national membership of the EU and the EU
itself. The Politics of Ratification of EU Treaties will be of
interest to students and researchers of European Studies, European
Union studies, European Union Law and European Union Politics.
