Summary:

Develops a critical theory of postnational constitutionalism at a time when the project of integrating Europe's peoples through the rule of law is faltering. Spanning many bodies of EU jurisprudence, Linden-Retek devotes specific attention to migration and asylum--struggles where questions of solidarity and belonging are most acute.
