Description: "This book contributes to the field of systems theory of law in the context of European legal and political integration and constitution-making. It puts recent European legislative efforts and policies, especially the EU enlargement process, in the context of legal theory and philosophy, showing that the system of positive law has a symbolic meaning, reflecting as it does the semantics of political identity, democratic power and moral values as well as the complex relations between law, politics and morality."--BOOK JACKET.
