Det norske paradoks: Om Norges forhold til Den europeiske union (red. med Erik O. Eriksen), 2014, Universitetsforlaget. Det norske paradoks tar for seg hvilken betydning Norges EU-tilknytning har for folkestyret. Hvordan påvirker denne forutsetningene for konstitusjonelt demokrati? I et år vi markerer jubileet for Grunnloven må vi også se på dens status opp mot avtalene med EU.

Practices of Inter-parliamentary Coordination in International Politics: The European Union and Beyond (co-editor with Ben Crum), 2013, ECPR Press. This volume provides a thorough empirical examination of how an internationalising context drives parliamentarians to engage in inter-parliamentary coordination; how it affects their power positions vis-à-vis executive actors; among themselves; and in society in general.

Rethinking Democracy and the European Union (co-editor with Erik O. Eriksen), 2012, Routledge. This book looks at both the concept of the EU as a political system, and analyses the meaning and status of democracy in Europe today. It draws upon leading scholars and practitioners from the RECON project (Reconstituting Democracy in Europe) to frame and analyse a range of institutional realms and policy fields, including constitutionalisation, representative developments, gender politics, civil society and public sphere, identity, and security and globalisation. Drawing together these strands, the book questions whether EU politics require a new theory of democracy, and evaluates the relationship between union and state, and the possible future of post-national democracy

The Constitution’s Gift, Boulder, Co.: Rowman and Littlefield 2011 (co-author: A.J. Menendez). The authors consider the process of forging the EU's constitution and the set of fundamental norms that define the institutional structure, the decision-making procedures, and the foundations of the Union's democratic legitimacy. Their analysis illuminates the distinctive features of the EU's pluralist constitutional construct but also the interesting parallels to the Canadian constitutional experience and provides the tools to understand the Union's development, especially during the Laeken (2001–2005) and Lisbon (2007–2009) processes of constitutional reform.To understand these processes the authors develop the theory of constitutional synthesis which captures the distinctive traits of the European Union as a polity. It explains why and how the European Communities were established as the first constitutional union of constitutional states wherein integration would be steered by law, not power politics or imperialism. Similarly, it presents the European Union as one of the few examples of a polity that has transcended the paradigm of the nation-state (and perhaps even that of the state). Locating the substance and process of Lisbon in its proper constitutional context, Fossum and Menéndez explain why this should be seen as a new beginning of the Union's constitutional season, not its end.

The European Union and the Public Sphere: A communicative space in the making? London: Routledge 2007 (Philip Schlesinger co-editor). This book assesses the possible formation of a communicative space that might enable and engender the creation of a transnational or a supranational public. The contributors consider the EU's democratic credentials and how well it communicates, and they also evaluate the major institutions and their links to general publics.

Developing a Constitution for Europe, London: Routledge 2004 (John Erik Fossum, Agustín Menéndez co-editors). The European Union is currently in the midst of a comprehensive process of reform and the aim of this book is to adddress the challenge of forging a legitimate Constitution for the EU. The authors aim to clarify the constitutional status of the EU, to take stock of the European Charter of Fundamental Rights and Convention on the Future of Europe as vehicles to forster and create a European constitution.

The 2007 and 2004 books are part of the series Routledge Studies on Democratizing Europe . John Erik Fossum is co-editor of this series.
