Abstract:      

The aim of this article is to offer an overview of the relevant literature devoted to the constitutional implications of the European Union (EU) crisis. My analysis explores the main scholarly views on the mutations of the constitutional structure of the Union produced by the crisis. To this purpose I do not conceive “constitutional mutation” as a complete rupture from the past and in fact in this piece I shall try to stress both continuities and discontinuities with the traditional understanding of the EU constitutionalization process.
