DESCRIPTION:The Liberty of the Post-Moderns? Market and Civic Freedom withi
 n the EU Taking its cue from Benjamin's Constant's famous essay\, this pap
 er uses the case of EU citizenship to explore how far ancient\, civic\, fr
 eedom can be combined with modern\, market\, freedom. Many commentators ha
 ve\, in different ways\, argued that the forces promoting European integra
 tion call for a new form of post-national citizenship that either builds c
 ivic freedom on the basis of the liberties of the moderns or does away wit
 h the need for it altogether. These arguments are disputed. Constant perce
 ptively raised a number of problems with this analysis\, while ignoring - 
 or being ignorant of - a number of others. As he noted\, ancient liberty c
 orrects various pathologies and lacunas of modern liberty\, but he overloo
 ked the degree to which its survival rested on the continuing importance o
 f certain pre-modern forms of social solidarity in modern times. Those see
 king new forms of post-modern citizenship tend to ignore one or other or b
 oth these points. This paper concludes by arguing that the only practical 
 way of combining ancient and modern liberty within the EU is to view it as
  a particularly intense form of international cooperation between democrat
 ic states rather than as a supranational organization that transcends its 
 component parts.&nbsp\;

X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:The Liberty of the Post-Moderns? Market and Ci
 vic Freedom within the EU Taking its cue from Benjamin's Constant's famous
  essay\, this paper uses the case of EU citizenship to explore how far anc
 ient\, civic\, freedom can be combined with modern\, market\, freedom. Man

  European integration call for a new form of post-national citizenship tha
 t either builds civic freedom on the basis of the liberties of the moderns
  or does away with the need for it altogether. These arguments are dispute
 d. Constant perceptively raised a number of problems with this analysis\, 
 while ignoring - or being ignorant of - a number of others. As he noted\, 
 ancient liberty corrects various pathologies and lacunas of modern liberty
 \, but he overlooked the degree to which its survival rested on the contin
 uing importance of certain pre-modern forms of social solidarity in modern
  times. Those seeking new forms of post-modern citizenship tend to ignore 
 one or other or both these points. This paper concludes by arguing that th
 e only practical way of combining ancient and modern liberty within the EU
  is to view it as a particularly intense form of international cooperation
  between democratic states rather than as a supranational organization tha
