It has long been held that only states can have democratic constitutions. What then about the European Union?
In the EU we see efforts to develop a democratic constitution as well as a process whereby national constitutions are becoming Europeanised. One of the questions asked by RECON is if these processes are likely to foster democracy at the European level, and if so, how? Can the EU develop a democratic constitution? If not, can the EU become a viable democracy without a democratic constitution? Equally important, will the EU undermine or consolidate national democracy?
