dc.description.abstract | The language of common European constitutional identity is distinguishable from that of common
European constitutional traditions in that the former does not focus so centrally on the past, and is
independent of the legal doctrinal language of the EU law. When discussing constitutional identity, there
are, in particular, the following four questions which deserve to be addressed: (1) What are we doing
when we are “constructing” the European constitutional identity; what are the features of the
interpretation leading to such a construction? (2) What values/ideals/principles are a part of our
constitutional identity? (3) How does European constitutional identity relate to the specific constitutional
identities of European nation-states? (4) What is the relationship between the discourse about political
integration within the EU and the existence of European CI, as separate from, and paramount to,
identities of member states? On that last issue it is submitted that there is no simple connection between
ascertaining the dominant identity at a particular level and the implications for the division of authority
between the European and national levels within the EU. | en |
