'The volume is certainly meant as a wake up call - most contributors agree that at present the EU risks sleep walking to disaster … Cue for a follow-up volume I think, a process to which the commentaries, expertly edited by Julia Slupska, Research Assistant at the LSE, mark a welcome first step.' Richard Bellamy, Verfassungsblog (www.verfassungsblog.de)
