“…2 Application for EU membership in 1990 was seen primarily as a political move with widespread expectations by the Greek-Cypriot side for accession to operate as a catalyst in the negotiation deadlock. Hence, accession negotiations were part of the broader negotiations for the political settlement of the issue and the strategic calculations of the two agendas were inexorably linked (Christou 2003, Brewin 2000, Demetriou 1998). The progress of the Cypriot application was troubled by the uncertainty of the political situation and the EU's strong preference for avoiding direct entanglement in the island's precarious political situation (Stavridis 1999, Tsardanidis and Nicolau 1999, Joseph 1996.…”

This new book presents a wealth of new data documenting and analyzing the different positions taken by European governments in the development of the European constitution.Understanding how constitutional decisions are taken in the EU is of great societal and scientific relevance. This volume examines how these decisions have substantial effects on the sovereignty of nation states and on the lives of citizens, independent of the ratification of a constitution.Few efforts have been made to document constitution building in a systematic and comparative manner, including the different steps and stages of the process. This book examines European constitution building by tracing the two-level policy formation process from the draft proposal of the European Convention until the Intergovernmental Conference, which finally adopted the document on the constitution in June 2004. Following a tight comparative framework, it sheds light on reactions to the proposed constitution in the domestic arena of all the actors involved. The volume includes a chapter on each of the original 15 member states and the ten accession states, plus chapters on the European Commission and European Parliament.Building a clear understanding of the affects of constitutional decisions, the book will be of strong interest to scholars and researchers of European Union politics, comparative politics and policy making.
