European integration has long defied previous notions of state
sovereignty and has since the days of the Coal and Steel Community
been conferred with original supranational instruments. Yet the
Treaty of Rome did not raise the same popular reactions as the
Maastricht Treaty about the infringement of national sovereignty.
This book suggests that the end of the Cold War has modified the
functions of European integration so that the original ideals of
integration have lost part of their appeal; hence the birth of the
European Union can be regarded as an attempt to seek a new
legitimacy. How far did the EU Treaty meet this unprecedented
challenge? This book argues that the Maastricht Treaty established
a constitutional framework for a new kind of polity without
resolving the issue of its purpose and scope. The volume seeks thus
to explain some of the reasons for the defeat of the Constitutional
Treaty in 2005 dating them back to the Maastricht Treaty. In so
doing, the book links the actual state of European integration with
the decisions taken at Maastricht in five different realms of
supranational policy-making. The first is the constitutional
setting of the EU Treaty and its effect on national constitutional
law; the second is the concept of governance and the changes
introduced by the Economic and Monetary Union; the third is the
historical background of the Maastricht agreement; the fourth the
political economy of the Economic and Monetary Union; the fifth is
the impact of European citizenship in the recent case-law of the
European Court of Justice and the prospects of a EU politicisation.
The book puts in perspective the solutions to the recent stalemate
of the European integration process offered by the Lisbon Treaty.
