Home > About this site

This site provides basic documentation regarding the Eurpean Union treaties leading to the currently debated Constitutional Treaty, along their various stages. It is hosted by the University of Zaragoza, a partner of the CIDEL Project which offers an Interdisciplinary Doctorate in European Union Studies.

The Constitution of the EU will be the cumulative result of a number of Treaties prepared, negotiated and ratified since the 1950's that have been reformed successively to culminate in the current proposal for a Constitutional Treaty. Leaving aside the "constitutionalising" role of the European Court of Justice, this site provides information on the EU "constitutional politics" --ie. the formal processes of establishing the fundamental and foundational rules for the EU polity.

For questions or comments regarding the content of the site, please contact Professor Carlos Closa.
