The Undecided Power A Constitutional History of the European Union, 1948–2007

"The book offers a fresh perspective on the history of law in modern Europe, providing valuable insights and new approaches to contextualization and is well worth reading." - Anna Hoberg, Researcher at Max Planck Institute for Legal History and Legal Theory

"Frank Schorkopf presents an intellectually dense, theoretically sound, and at the same time narratively compelling account of European constitutional history. 'The Undecided Power' is a work of great significance ... a plea for an integrative political historiography of Europe." - PD Dr. Ines Soldwisch, Chair of Modern History and its Cultures of Knowledge and Technology, RWTH Aachen University

"One cannot finish reading this book without being filled with gratitude for all those who fought for Europe through these difficult processes. And for Frank Schorkopf, who reconstructs these processes so concisely." - Prof. Reinhard Zimmermann, retired Director at the Max Planck Institute for Comparative and International Private Law
