Abstract

In the European integration process the two concepts of citizenship and of civil society have been introduced by the EU institutions and policy-makers in order to build support for the new supranational polity.

Only during the recent constitutional debate has an attempt been made to make “European civil society” and “European citizenship” more complementary.
