[Hamp-law] Lester Mazor on New European Constitution

[Flavio Risech]

The European Studies Program and the Law Program at Hampshire College present:
Europe Coming Together: A New Constitution for the European Union

A talk by Professor of Law Emeritus Lester Mazor
7 PM, Tuesday, September 25th
Emily Dickinson Hall, Room 5
refreshments will be served

Fifty years ago six countries in postwar Europe organized themselves 
as a "common market" for trading coal and steel.  What has become the 
European Union was meant to encourage
peace and prosperity in a place that had known two terribly 
destructive world wars.

   Today the EU has nearly 30 member states and sees itself 
increasingly as the democratic counterweight to US "hyper-power."

This talk will explore recent, sometimes frustrated, attempts to 
bring the EU's nearly 30 countries under a single constitution, 
partly in the hope of exerting a more unified European
influence in global affairs.
