Self-Determination in the Constitutional Future of the EU

Publisher Abstract
This article analyses three prominent proposals for the functional and political transformation of the EU from a constitutional perspective.

It argues that existing EU reform proposals, to varying degrees, entrench rather than reverse the challenges to individual and political self-determination brought about by the EU's response to its Euro crisis.

As the article will conclude, challenging ‘authoritarian liberalism' in an EU context may require the development of a constitutional structure for the Union able to contest, rather than set in stone, the EU's existing economic and political goals.
