Acknowledgments One does not complete a work of this magnitude without accumulating a great many intellectual debts. I thank all of the following for their collectively massive contribution to my learning, and note that none of them is responsible for any of my remaining errors. First, the European law specialists who attended the 1988 Salzburg Seminar on American law and alerted me to the importance of the ECJ, especially Laurence Gormley , Aidan O’Neill, and Sylvia Paisley. Second, Alec Stone, who generously invited me to attend the workshop on comparative member-state reception of European law that he organized with Anne-Marie (Burley) Slaughter , Martin Shapiro, and Joseph Weiler. Third, the faculty and staff associated with the Institut de Droit Public at the University of Lausanne, especially Maryl Tintori, Pierre Moor, Suzette Sandoz, Anouk Neuenschwander , and Christine Sattiva Spring, for their help in my research on the Swiss union. Fourth, Michel Troper and Francoise Michaut, both for their inviting me to the stimulating seminars of the Centre de Théorie du Droit at Université de Paris X, and for their own insightful conversations. And, finally, to the numerous colleagues, both at my own university and around the globe, whose helpful comments (face to face or via e-mail) have encouraged me along the way or kept one or another error out of the book. These individuals include Pia Caroni, Roland Ruffieux, Arnold Heidenheimer, Peter Russell, Ted Morton, Gary Jacobsohn, Karen Orren , Sandy Levinson, Jeff Tulis, Terrence Marshall, Alain Laraby, Greg Caldeira, Mary Volcansek, Bill Williams, Bill Funk, Craig Orren, Kurt Burch, Bob Denemark, Dan Green, Jo-Anne Kingsley, Hank Reynolds, and the anonymous reviewers for Cambridge, Routledge, and Johns Hopkins University Press. Apart from my intellectual debts, I need to thank the University of Delaware Center for Advanced Study and the Unidel Foundation for the financial support that kept this project from taking even longer than it did. For permission to reprint segments of this work that appeared elsewhere , I thank Studies in American Political Development, MIT Press, and the Universities of Florida Press. My enormous debt to my family for putting up with me, my erratic temperament, and my absences during my work on this project is expressed on the dedication page. xii acknowledgments [3.235.249.219] Project MUSE (2024-03-29 01:35 GMT) Constituting Federal Sovereignty This page intentionally left blank ...
