• Sommario/riassunto: 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.
