Nationalism is back, and it is again becoming, in the 21st century, the most powerful and perhaps most destructive force of our time. Among different current versions and examples of nationalism, the case of Germany stands out for well-known historical reasons. While after the Second World War, German nationalism was restrained and the country became well-embedded in the European Community, this book argues that, since 1990, both the Germans themselves and the citizens of fellow Member States of the European Union have been severely affected by the reemergence of a certain German nationalism based on a romanticised cultural and ethnic vision of national community that hampers the further development of the European Project. The author showcases this phenomenon through his detailed analysis of different milestones in the jurisprudence of the German Constitutional Court in highly political and contested cases such as the Maastricht, Lisbon and PSPP rulings.
