Open Access via perspectivia.net
The series aims to encourage debates and exchange across national borders, as well as disciplines and scholarly or academic boundaries. The re:constitution Working Paper Series shall be an easily accessible forum for the development, publication and exposition of ideas and evaluations on the issues of democracy and the rule of law in Europe, including both contributions from an academic and a more practical perspective. Contributions may range from early stages of an idea to nearly fully developed publications that shall be “tested” before their final publication, e.g. as articles (in newspapers or academic journals), book chapters, or reviews.
