The constitution of Europe. 'Do the new clothes have an emperor?' and other essays on European integration: J.H.H. Weiler presents a revised and supplemented collection of essays written over the last ten years on issues related to the law and politics of European integration. This book includes the author's widely discussed essay 'The transformation of Europe', with a new afterword, as well as his 1997 London School of Economics Jean Monnet Lecture 'To be a European Citizen: Eros and Civilization'. Weiler deals critically with both the ends and the means of European integration claiming that although individuals as legal consumers have been hugely empowered by Community law, there has been a corresponding disempowerment in their status as citizens. J.H.H. Weiler is Manley Hudson Professor of Law and Jean Monnet Chair at Harvard University and Co-Director of the Academy of European Law at the European University Institute, Florence. |
