The ‘Common Constitutional Traditions’ and the Integration of EU

The central question faced by the article is that of the possible integration of the European Union as a multicultural society through its constitutional principles. These are summarized in the so called Common Constitutional Traditions (CCTs) presumably shared by the Member States. Such “traditions” has been worked out by the European Court of Justice (ECJ). The answer to the question can be affirmative and the EU can promote social inclusion if the ECJ and other EU institutions take seriously the EU motto: “United in diversity.”
