This book critically engages Jurgen Habermas's comprehensive vision
of constitutional democracy in the European Union. John P.
McCormick draws on the writings of Max Weber (and Habermas's own
critique of them) to confront the difficulty of theorizing
progressive politics during moments of radical state
transformation. Both theorists employ normative and empirical
categories, drawn from earlier historical epochs, to analyze
contemporary structural transformations: Weber evaluated the
emergence of the Sozialstaat with antedated categories derived from
nineteenth-century and premodern historical examples; while
Habermas understands the EU almost exclusively in terms of the
liberal (Rechtsstaat) and welfare state (Sozialstaat) paradigms.
Largely forsaking the focus on structural transformation that
characterized his early work, Habermas conceptualizes the EU as a
territorially expanded nation-state. McCormick demonstrates the
deficiencies of such an approach and outlines a more appropriate
normative-empirical model, the supranational Sektoralstaat, for
evaluating prospects for constitutional and social democracy in the
EU.
