EU CONSTITUTIONAL LAW-POLICY MAKING AND THE NOTION OF “COMMON EUROPEAN LEGAL TRADITION”
Vittorio Olgiati
Leafing through a variety of EU official documents, it becomes apparent that, among the
communicative strategies officially enunciated to support processes and policies, a
special relevance has been ascribed the notion �common European legal tradition.�
Indeed, reference �shared� �settled� social, institutional cultural context has
been conceived as refined way provide validity, legitimacy social appeal a
quite recent geopolitical governance system such that unionism. It is a
fact, however, in spite authoritativeness statements, an important
debate continues at scientific level about actual existence and/or consistency of
such tradition,� due either diverging historical socio-legal
developments various member states or novelty constructionism.
The aim this paper deal precisely with issue by focusing on which an
extraordinarily (explicitly implicitly) selective mixture old new tools applied order portray historically settled constituency. Accordingly,
the most important normative steps towards constitutionalisation will be discussed
and critically compared previous � modern, pre-modern ancient European
constitutional experiences.
