Several years after the first Greek bailout, the integration
project of the European Union faces an interlocking set of
political, economic, legal and social challenges that go to the
very core of its existence. Austerity is the order of the day, and
citizens in both debtor and creditor states increasingly turn to
the political movements of the far left and right, anti-politics
and street protests to vent their frustration. This book
demonstrates the limits of constitutionalism in the EU. It explores
the 'twin crises' - the failure of the Constitutional Treaty in
2005 and the more recent Eurozone crisis - to illuminate both the
possibilities and pitfalls of the integration project. It argues
that European integration overburdened law in an attempt to
overcome deep-seated political deficiencies. It further contends
that the EU shifted from an unsuccessful attempt at democratisation
via politicisation (the Constitutional Treaty), to an unintended
politicisation without democratisation (the Eurozone crisis) only a
few years later. The book makes the case that this course is
unsustainable and threatens the goal of European unity. This text
will be of key interest to students and scholars in the fields of
EU studies, EU law, democracy studies, constitutional studies and
international relations.
