Until very recently, the word 'constitution' was noticeably absent
form the EU's political vocabulary. However, as soon as it became
clear that the gap between the institutions of EU and its citizens
must be bridged, the European Convention of 2003 developed a single
integrated constitutional text, which was quickly adopted by the
heads of all EU Member States and submitted to the States for
ratification in 2004. This remarkable book is the first in-depth
analysis of the Treaty Establishing a Constitution for Europe.
Although the author, notable constitutional jurist Jacques Ziller,
acknowledges that the new Constitution is in many ways a grand
integration of elements from exiting European law (most importantly
from the case law of the European Court of Justice), he clearly
explains the treaty's innovations and its far-reaching implications
for the future of Europe. Combining legislative history, acute
insight, rigorous analysis, and detailed supplementary information,
"The New European Constitution" elucidates the genesis, growth, and
future implications of this intriguing European development.
Professor Ziller's treatment covers and investigates such as the
following: the background, composition and internal organisation of
the Convention; profiles of the Convention's principal players; the
drafting of the constitutional text; the Constitution's chapters
and themes and the problems addressed by each of them; the major
objections made to the text; and procedure for future amendments.
In one of the book's most extraordinary features, the commentary is
regularly accompanied by tables illustrating essential terms and
concepts pertinent to the discussion. Whether the ratification
process succeeds or not, Professor Ziller has rendered a service of
inestimable value, as the principles and arguments crystallised in
this moment of European political history will continue to exercise
a profound effect on European society. And while the breath and
precision of the knowledge embodied in this work is prodigious, the
presentation is clear, simple, and captivating. It is sure to
familiarize many interested parties with the new European
constitution and what it means.
