From Aquamont to Berlaymont: On the Integration-Friendly Features of the Slovak Constitution

Summary/Abstract: The ensuing survey describes the translation into the Slovak constitutional framework of the political and legal imperatives concerning the country’s Euro-Atlantic integration ambitions. It also attempts at offering a brief explanation of the context, which has informed the recent structural adjustments of Slovakia’s higher law, and at providing a sketch of other adjustments the implementation of which appears necessary in order for the local legal topography to fully account for the different political and legal implications of the country’s eventual admission into the relevant West-sponsored supranational structures. The emphasis lies on the way in which the local environment reacted to the exigencies of the contemporary integration context and on both the achievements and the failures that this reaction produced.
