The book delves into the complexities of constitutional pluralism, exploring its theoretical and practical significance while also critiquing the existing scholarship on the topic. It examines the challenges faced by legal practitioners and theorists in a society where two constitutions coexist, particularly in the context of the European Union, which faces the dilemma of balancing integration and national sovereignty. Through a strongly pluralist perspective and a comparative methodology, the book examines constitutional crises outside the EU to establish that pluralism and conflicts are essential elements of modern constitutions. It challenges the mistaken interpretation of positivist theory and reinterprets it in a manner close to legal realism, providing insights into the complexities of pluralism. Additionally, the book addresses constitutional conflicts within the EU, distinguishing between physiological conflicts and constitutional pathology. This work is of immense interest to students and academics in Law and Political Science, as well as scholars in general jurisprudence, EU law, constitutional and comparative constitutional law, and the history of European integration.
