Features: This is a collection of essays that studies the European Constitution from the perspectives of political science and constitutional law. Europeans are creating their own history in a peaceful and rational manner, attempting to achieve European integration through constitutional forms. Observing the constitutional process of Europe closely and exploring the design of the European Constitution holds significant reference value for China's constitutional development. The significance of this research collection lies in the fact that the articles included are not written by scholars of international relations or European studies, but by domestic political scholars and economists. Additionally, two articles were specifically commissioned by senior EU officials and scholars for this book. As a result, the research in this book adopts more of an internal, constitutional perspective, focusing on analyzing the framework, principles, and institutional design of the European Constitution. The authors have also summarized certain constitutional techniques that may be inspiring for China's constitutional development. At the end of the book, the draft text of the European Constitution is included for reference by researchers from various fields.
