TY - GEN A1 - Sprungk, Carina A1 - von Oppeln, Sabine T1 - Bevölkerungsmeinung und Elitendiskurs : die deutsche und die französische Debatte über den europäischen Verfassungsvertrag T1 - Public opinion and elites in the German and French debate on the European Constitutional Treaty N2 - The authors argue that the public opinion and the discourse of political elites differ significantly within the Franco-German debate on the Constitutional Treaty of the EU. Moreover, the article shows that the discussion reflects different conceptions of European politics. These differences lead to the claim that the co-operation and the leading role of Germany and France in the EU have to be re-defined. This has to occur in the context of a politicisation of European politics, which is crucial for the future of the enlarged European Union.
