On 22-24 September 2005, the CIDEL consortium held its concluding conference "LAW and Democracy in Europe's Post-National Constellation." The conference was hosted by the European University Institute in Florence. This report contains the proceedings from the conference.

At the conference, analyses of the European polity as a rights-based post-national union, which has oriented the work in CIDEL was complemented by reflections on "Europe's unfinished agenda." This turned out to be a thought-provoking and rewarding combination - as the reader of this report will realize.

CIDEL, which stands for Citizenship and Democratic Legitimacy in the EU, was a 3-years (2003-2005) joint research project with ten partners in six European countries. The project was coordinated by ARENA at the University of Oslo, and was supported by the European Commission's Fifthe Framework Programme for Research, Key Action "Improving the Socio-economic Knowledge Base."
