The first of the three essays in the book considers attempts to improve the quality of EU legislation, focusing in particular upon the possibilities and limitations that are inherent in the subsidiarity principle. The normative issues associated with the contracting-out of negotiations to European-level ""social partners"" are considered in the second essay. Finally, the third analyses the 1999 reforms to the ""comitology"" system. Kenneth Armstrong argues that only when such issues are placed in the context of a system of multi-level governance with an attendant multi-level constitutionalism, can the possibilities for legitimization and de-legitimization be understood.
