Abstract

This chapter examines narratives of constitutionalism and the ebb and flow of constitutional ideas and practices within and across the European Union (EU) and its member states from the inception of the treaties to the present day. It addresses the extent to which the EU might manifest a ‘constitutional’ legal and political order. Alongside that question is the one that inevitably arises in the context of a dynamic regional integration project such as the EU, which is the question of change. Is the EU changing in terms of its engagement with constitutional ideas and practices, and if so, is it to be understood as becoming more, or less, constitutional over time?
