The Jurisprudence of Particularism: National Identity Claims in Central Europe

Edited by Kriszta Kovács

Center for Global Constitutionalism, ELTE University

This open access book asks whether there is space for particularism in a constitutional democracy which would limit the implementation of EU law. National identity claims are a key factor in shaping our times and the ongoing evolution of the European Union. This collection focuses on the jurisprudence of Czechia, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia. The contributors offer a new analytical scheme to evaluate the judicial invocation of identity, drawing on comparative constitutional law, theory, comparative-empirical material and normative-philosophical perspectives.
