Reforming the EU Treaties

This book tackles the question of reforming the principal Treaties of the European Union at this moment in the history of the European integration project. Whereas previous periods in that history have been marked by successive rounds of Treaty amendment, there is a widespread belief that today there is very little prospect of further Treaty reform in the near future. And yet, the past 15 years have exposed many shortcomings in EU primary law and have given rise to a pressing need to consider amending and updating the principal Treaties of the European integration project. This collection of essays puts forward a number of practically feasible proposals for amending the EU Treaties.
