See moreThis book considers the constitutional implications of legal integration regarding internal security matters in the EU. It argues that constitutional theory is crucial to addressing legality and accountability concerns raised by the legal practices of the EU's 'Area of Freedom, Security and Justice' (AFSJ).
The challenge of thinking about the place of constitutionalism beyond the conventional categories of the nation state has become a principal concern for legal and political scholars. This book casts this issue in a different light by exploring the implications for the constitutionalism of legal integration in the European Union's area of freedom, security and justice.
In doing so, it makes a novel contribution to an understanding of the European Union as a political community beyond the state. It also explores how this entails thinking differently about what is essential concerning constitutionalism.
The book argues that instead of seeking to theorise constitutional foundations, we actually begin to encounter the constitutional life implied by political and legal practices in the European Union, as exemplified here by the area of freedom, security and justice.
