European Court of Justice; Hur kan dess utveckling till en konstitutionsdomstol förstås? En förklarande uppsats utifrån tre förklaringsmodeller
The thesis aims to explain to the development of the European Court of Justice into a constitutional court. The transformation of ECJ into a de facto constitutional court is studied using three perspectives, constitutionalism, neofunctionalism and by a judicial activism perspective. By using the three mentioned theories it’s made possible to understand the court’s development from a political and judicial development point of view as well as an actor. 
The thesis studies how and why all the three theories, even though significantly different in approach and vision, still pushed the ECJ in a direction of becoming a constitution court. 
At the end of the day, even though constitutionalism and judicial activism can explain important part of the court’s development, it’s my belief that the neofunctionalist theory explains the most of how the court developed into a constitutional court. In the early days of the European integration process the politicians gave the court a certain supranational position which the court has held on to ever since.
IS THE TREATY OF MAASTRICHT AN ADEQUATE‘CONSTITUTION’FOR THE EUROPEAN UNION?
This article explores the likely impact of the Treaty of Maastricht on the institutional balance of the European Community and the new European Union. It places particular emphasis on the impact of the Treaty on the role of the European Court of Justice, an institution which has been generally ignored by political scientists. However, it does not accept the received wisdom of legal scholars concerning the Court, which suggests that the Court, acting on its own has saved the Community from self-destruction. Instead, the analysis presented here places the Court in a political context. On the basis of this understanding, the potential of the Treaty of Maastricht to unravel some of the existing structure of the European Community is drawn out.
