THE LONG QUEST FOR IDENTITY KARTONIERT (TB)

The constitutionalisation of the European Union has been a major goal of European politics from
the late 1980s until recently. It is supposed to enhance the citizens' feeling of belonging and
give the Union a clearer political identity and legitimacy. The current euro-crisis seems to
have stopped the pursuit of an ever closer and constitutionalised Union. National interests and
intergovernmental bargaining are now at the centre of European business. While we wonder what
will become of the European constitutional project  it remains worthwhile to cast additional
light onto what it was supposed to be until recently and how it changed the institutional face
of the Union. This volume does so by analysing the political and legal facets of
constitutionalisation. Contributions delve into the debates that marked the evolution of the
constitutionalisation project and its overall institutional consequences  and focus on
fundamental rights protection  the implementation of the Charter of Fundamental Rights  legal
conflicts between the European Court of Justice and national constitutional courts  and the
legal and political balance of power between EU institutions and national authorities with
regard to the defence of fundamental rights and the rule of law.
