Abstract

This paper discusses the main issues at stake in the Convention preparing a Constitutional Treaty for Europe. It builds on recent work in political economics to discuss the trade-offs between the parliamentary and the presidential model of democracy for legislative and executive activity in areas of competence of an enlarged EU. It argues in favor of a presidential model in the context of the EU with the president being elected by national parliaments.
