SUMMARY:Constitutionalism and the Enlargement of Europe
DESCRIPTION:Invité par la professeure Nanette Neuwahl\, Wojciech Sadurski\
 , Professeur en Jurisprudence et titulaire de la chaire Challis à l'Unive
 rsité de Sydney\, vient au CRDP pour présenter son dernier ouvrage\, Con
 stitutionalism and the Enlargement of Europe.Résumé de l'ouvrage :After 
 the fall of Communism in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE)\, the newly demo
 cratized countries of this region joined two main pan-European political a
 nd legal structures: the Council of Europe and the European Union. This bo
 ok shows how the Eastward enlargement of these two structures fostered the
  'constitutionalization' both of the Council of Europe and of the EU. Prom
 pted by the enlargement of the Council of Europe and the admission of a nu
 mber of countries which brought unique and often more substantial problems
  onto the Court's agenda\, the main judicial body of the Council of Europe
 \, the European Court of Human Rights\, became a quasi 'constitutional cou
 rt' of Europe. This book demonstrates that this was primarily as a result 
 of the widening of its agenda and the resulting need to make activist deci
 sions about the compatibility of national laws with the European Conventio
 n. In terms of the EU\, the book shows that the enlargement (first prospec
 tive\, and then\, actual) has been an important agenda-setter for the cons
 titutionalization of the EU\; in particular\, for openly placing the issue
  of fundamental rights on the EU agenda as a legitimate and indispensable 
 matter of concern for the EU. But the 'constitutional synergies' were a tw
 o-way street: the accession to both pan-European structures has also affec
 ted the development of democratic constitutionalism in CEE states. It has 
 raised difficult issues regarding the relationships between national sover
 eignty\, democracy\, and human rights that CEE policy makers have grappled
  with\; these issues and responses by CEE member states have had implicati
 ons for the 'old' EU member states as well. These dynamics are explored th
 rough various case studies\, providing a new perspective on the developmen
 t of legal norms and institutions within European supranational bodies.
