There is little doubt that the European Union suffers from a democratic deficit that affects its legitimacy and acceptance with EU citizens. But what is the source of this deficit? In his 2016 book, "The Constitution of European Democracy", Dieter Grimm asserts that the over-constitutionalisation of the EU has shifted power from democratically legitimised and accountable institutions to the EU’s executive and judicial bodies. Grimm analyses the origins and consequences of this situation, and develops proposals for reforming the institutional structure and decision making process within the EU.
In 2016, Dieter Grimm's book "Europa ja – aber welches?” was published by Verlag C.H. Beck. It is now available in English from Oxford University Press under the title "The Constitution of European Democracy".
Dieter Grimm teaches constitutional law at Humboldt University Berlin and at the Yale Law School. From 1987 to 1999 he served as Justice of the Federal Constitutional Court of Germany. He holds a law degree and a doctoral from the University of Frankfurt and an LL.M. degree from Harvard Law School. He has been a visiting professor in many universities such as Harvard, New York University, the University of Toronto, the University La Sapienza in Rome, the Indian National Law School in Kolkatta, Seoul National University, Beijing University, Renmin University Beijing etc. Dieter Grimm holds honorary doctoral degrees from the universities of Toronto, Göttingen, Porto Alegre and Bucharest. He is a member of the Berlin-Brandenburgische Akademie der Wissenschaften, the Academia Europaea and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
