Book review: economic governance in Europe: comparative paradoxes and constitutional challenges by Federico Fabbrini

In Economic Governance in Europe: Comparative Paradoxes and Constitutional Challenges, Federico Fabbrini outlines the impact of the Euro crisis on the constitutional and legal architecture of the European Union, arguing for a shift from constitutional arrangements rooted in ‘accident and force’ to systems ‘designed on the basis of reflection and choice’. Francesco Costamagna welcomes this as a refreshing challenge to the assumption that movement towards an EU super-state is the best solution to current challenges.
