Summary:
The thesis examines the interrelation between the State and the EU with the assistance of the fundamental notions of national constitutionalism and European constitutionalisation and within the scope of constitutional law.
The above-mentioned notions are further divided into notions and principles by the use of
working definitions: sovereignty, democratic principle and protection of fundamental human rights for the concept of national constitutionalism and the promotion of the common market, the integration through law character of the EU and the principles of supremacy and direct effect for the European constitutionalisation respectively.
The dissertation is divided in two parts: in the first part national constitutionalism is regarded as the nucleus-model around which European constitutionalisation is orbiting, whereas invertedly in the second part European constitutionalisation is positioned in the centre around which the concept of national constitutionalism is orbiting.
The above-mentioned shaping reveals the simultaneous intrusion of the notion of national
constitutionalism within the European process and the distancing of the EU project from the model of national constitutionalism (first part), but also the wearing of national constitutionalism that is induced by the distancing of the European constitutionalisation, as well as the reformation of the concept of national constitutionalism due to the interaction between the State and the EU (second part).
Keywords:
National Constitutionalism, European Constitutionalisation, Sovereignty, Democracy, Fundamental Rights, Market, Ordoliberalism, Principle of Supremacy of EU law, Principle of Direct Effect of EU law
