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.
Deliberation at the European Convention: The Final Verdict
Negotiations in Amsterdam 1996 and Nice 2000 resulted in deadlocks impossible to break. The failure of these Intergovernmental Conferences gave rise to demands for a new and improved process of treaty reform. The answer offered by the European Council in Laeken was to create a Convention with a mandate to prepare the next reform of the treaties. The broad composition of this Convention raised hopes for a process not exclusively defined by bargaining on behalf of national interests, but rather a more open process where actors would be prepared to listen to each other's arguments. Today, we find two divergent images of deliberation in this body. The first sees the Convention as a deliberative success story; the second argues bargaining dominated the proceedings. However, this far the empirical evidence in support of either claim has been inconclusive. On the basis of interviews with 28 conventioneers, this article ventures a final verdict on the matter, arguing that deliberation was, indeed, a defining characteristic of the proceedings.
