Federalism appears in two main forms in the EU. On the one hand, numerous formerly unitary Member States have embarked on a path towards a (quasi-)federal governance structure. On the other hand, the EU itself is sometimes qualified as a federal system. Significantly, the concept of federalism has a very different, even opposite, connotation in both contexts. When associated with Member State reform, federalism is regarded as a technique for accommodating autonomy claims of sub-state nations. By contrast, when federalism is used as a label for the EU itself, it is conceived as a far-reaching way of integrating the nations of Europe. This dual appearance of federalism in the EU context is central to the structure of the book. The first collection of essays addresses the question whether the EU may be described as a federal system, and whether it can learn from existing federations. In the second set of contributions, the attention shifts to domestic federalisation processes, more particularly to the impact of these processes on EU law and vice versa 410 0$aModern studies in European law ;$vv. 33. 606 $aConstitutional law$zEuropean Union countries 606 $aEuropean federation 606 $2Laws of Specific jurisdictions 607 $aEuropean Union countries$xPolitics and government 615 0$aConstitutional law 615 0$aEuropean federation. 676 $a321.04094 702 $aBaere$b G. de 702 $aCloots$b Elke 702 $aSottiaux$b Stefan 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812094703321 996 $aFederalism in the European Union$91086235 997 $aUNINA
