EU's "Little" Constitution: between Schweik and Kafka

Abstract

This article in its shorter version was published in EU Watch, issue 9, Dec 2007/Jan 2008 under the title of "The EU Constitution, Russia and a Common EU Energy Policy". Having studied Kafka for decades I admit that most probably Franz Kafka and "Schweik's" author Jaroslav Han>ek never met or had any relations. These names here are combined only metaphorically due to their great compatriot, the greatest economist of our days - Professor Vaclav Klaus to whom I present this essay.
