The Process of Constitutionalisation of the EU and Related Issues

"The main objective of the book is to give an analysis of relevant parts of the European Union legal order with regard to some envisaged cardinal changes in the field of acquis communautaire, which are linked directly to the constitutional development at supranational level. The book focuses especially on the formation of a transnational constitutional sphere; the influence of the national constitutional models on the development of European Constitutional law; the actual issues of the constitutionalism in the field of human rights on EU level and its prospects, including the analysis of future mechanism of the enforcements of those rights; the issues of binding character of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU and prospective accession of the EU to the European Convention on Human Rights; actual constitutional issues related to the European Parliament and national parliaments, the relationship between the European Court of Justice and national courts of member states; the constitutional aspects of the European judicial system. Consideration is also given to other important questions where especially the cardinal changes are envisaged."--BOOK JACKET.
