In the wake of the EU’s greatest enlargement, this book explores the adaptation of the constitutions of Central and Eastern Europe for membership in the European Union. In response to the painful past, these new constitutions were notably closed to the transfer of powers to international organisations, and accorded a prominent status to sovereignty and independence. A little more than a decade later, the process of amending these provisions in view of the transfer of sovereign powers to a supranational organisation has proved a sensitive and controversial exercise | j camiimiik.i studies in European law and Policy EU Enlargement and the constitutions of Central and Eastern Europe Anneli Albi Cambridge a EU ENLARGEMENT AND THE CONSTITUTIONS OF CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPE In the wake of the EU s greatest enlargement this book explores the adaptation of the constitutions of Central and Eastern Europe for membership in the European Union. In response to the painful past these new constitutions were notably closed to the transfer ofpowers to international organisations and accorded a prominent status to sovereignty and independence. A little more than a decade later the process of amending these provisions in view of the transfer of sovereign powers to a supranational organisation has proved a sensitive and controversial exercise. This book analyses the amendments against the background of comparative experience and theory of sovereignty as well as the context of political sensitivities such as rising euroscepticism ahead of accession referendums. It concludes with a broader inquiry into the role and rationale ofthe national constitutions in the process of European integration. The book also considers the implications of the European Constitution in the framework of the debate on European constitutionalism and post-national governance. anneli albi is a lecturer in European Law at the University of Kent.
