Description: "Taking Jurgen Habermas's plea for a European constitution and a normative foundation for the EU as its starting point, this volume brings together the ideas of distinguished scholars in philosophy, political science, sociology, history, law and theology in order to address the shifting relationship between constitutionality, political culture, history and collective identity. The book argues that the future shape of Europe will not only result from external processes of globalisation but from the interaction between these social spheres within Europe."--BOOK JACKET.
