European Constitutionalism redraws the perimeters in the debate on the nature of the European constitution, Offering a fresh approach to both doctrinal and theoretical issues, this book discusses general characteristics of the European constitution under the headings of relationality, perspectivism and discursiveness, and contains forays to sectoral constitutionalization in the micro-and macroeconomic, social and security dimensions.
