This book aims at discussing the future steps in the European Integration, which are to be taken after the likely entry into force in 2010 of the Lisbon Treaty. Against the background of the drafting of this new treaty and the constitutional discussion within EU law during the last decades, the author questions whether the treaty and leading EU law theorists have really grasped and addressed the true future challenges of European integration. Instead of always trying to balance supra-nationalism and inter-governmentalism and seeing the EU as less democratic than a nation-state, at least the doctrine, normally more radical than political decision-makers, ought to embrace the most characteristic trait of European integration, namely supra-national decision-making, and discuss its future potential. In the book, recent changes in EU constitutional law and constitutional theory in general are observed. Leading EU theorists such as Weiler, Majone and Habermas are analysed critically, with a view to their inability to see the EU today for what it really is. Finally, alternative strategies for the next decades, which may make the EU work more efficient and at the same time bridging the gap between the Union and its citizens are discussed.

In the complicated legal and political situation that reigns in Europe at the moment, characterized not at least by the uncertainty of what happens with the proposed EU constitution after negative results in the French and Dutch referendums in 2005, it has become increasingly important to analyse the EU constitutional frameworks from historical and comparative perspectives. This book provides new insights based on perspectives from Member States such as Germany and Italy as well as the Nordic Countries. It also deals with European legal and philosophical heritage in general, as well as special issues like closer cooperation among ‘Core States’ and the role of the Court of Justice in recent EC law development. It is of interest both for legal practitioners and scholars as well as students of political science and history.

"This is volume 6 in the series Swedish Studies in European Law. Arising from the work of two well-attended seminars, this new volume concentrates on highly topical issues in European Law - current problems in the enforcement of human rights in Europe, and the Accession of EU to the European Convention on Human Rights. Among the topics dealt with are, apart from "the accession issue", questions related to the enforcement of the Charter of Fundamental Rights, human rights as general principles of law, specific issues like the "Double Jeopardy Clause" in relation to swedish tax law, horizontal effect or so-called Drittwirkung of human rights and the increased role of judicial and constitutional review in swedish courts. The book should be of value for any reader with an interest in such matters."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

"This book looks at how successful the European project can be judged to have been over the last generation. The 30th anniversary of the Berlin Wall marked a natural moment of stock taking and assessing how the world has evolved since then. The European Union, as much as any institution, could benefit from such introspection. This collection does just that; looking at the key changes in the last 30 years and assessing the Union's success or otherwise at responding to them. Addressing questions such as accession, the enlarged Union, enforcement and uncertainty in the European project, a team of experts gives its reasoned verdict"--
