It proposes a reflection on the nature of EU political

constitutional design. It then examines how the EU
institutions are appointed; how they function; their
respective powers; how they interact with other and
with the national political institution and civil society
actors. It describes the European policy making. It
finally examines the process of institutional reform and
the challenges EU is facing today. There is a written
