Book Launch: 'Euroconstitutionalism and its Discontents'

Description

Book Launch: 'Euroconstitutionalism and its Discontents' (Oxford Constitutional Theory: OUP 2018) by Dr Oliver Gerstenberg

This book addresses the question of social constitutionalism, especially with regard to its role in the contemporary European project. For reasons of history and democracy, Europeans share a deep commitment to social constitutionalism. But in the contemporary European constitutional debate, constitutionalism and social democracy have become antagonists, with the survival of the one seeming to require sacrifice of the other. The book explores possible responses to this conundrum, including a democratic-experimentalist answer.

The launch will feature the following speakers:

• Dr Oliver Gerstenberg (UCL)
   
• Prof. Jeff King (UCL)
• Prof. Chantal Mak (UvA)
• Prof. Colm O'Cinneide (UCL)
• Prof. Charles Sabel (Columbia Law School)
• Prof. Takis Tridimas (KCL)
• Prof. Albert Weale (UCL)

Euroconstitutionalism and its Discontents will be published by Oxford University Press in November 2018.
