Constitutional Evolution in Central and Eastern Europe: Expansion and Integration in the Eu

This book examines EU enlargement by studying how domestic constitutional evolution in the new member states contributes to European integration. Contrasting to the usual top-down analytical pattern, this volume reverses the paradigm by looking at constitutional developments and dynamics from the bottom-up, studying how domestic constitutional evolution contributes to European integration. This will be a key volume for scholars and individuals with interests in European and international law.
