The book contains 24 contributions from European law scholars and practitioners analysing the constitutional basis of the European Union and the normative orientation of the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) as well as the central economic and monetary provisions (TFEU) after the Reform Treaty of Lisbon. Presenting the findings of a European research team, which is composed of authors from eight Member States, the publication underlines the aspiration of the editors to thoroughly analyse the constitutional law of the European Union currently in force.

From the reviews:

“The present volume, a collection of contributions presented at two international conferences in Erfurt (2008) and Rome (2010), attempts to reflect the essential innovations brought about by the Lisbon Treaty in the structure of the European integration process. … the book is needed by any scholar or practitioner having to deal with actual problems of the European integration process since it provides a complete tour d’horizon which cannot be obtained anywhere else.” (Christian Tomuschat, ZaöRV Zeitschrift für ausländisches öffentliches Recht und Völkerrecht, Vol. 73 (2), 2013)
