In 1952, politicians from six European nations convened to draft a constitution for a future political community, marking a pivotal moment in the evolution of parliamentary governance within a supranational framework. This book revisits the often-overlooked origins of parliamentary Europe and explores the significance of this ad-hoc assembly in the context of post-World War II European integration. It examines how this gathering functioned as a project for integration and its implications for the political theory and history of parliamentarism, paving the way for future developments in EU parliamentary processes.
