Who's Afraid of a European Constitution?

In this short but authoritative book, the nature and purpose of the European Constitution are explaines by someone involved in its preparation. The author discusses how it was drafted, and tackles some much debated questions: whether it promises any enhancement of democracy in the EU, whether it implies that the EU is becoming a superstate, and whether it will strengthen the principle of subsidiarity and the protection of human rights.
