Giuseppe Martinico (Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna) has posted From the Constitution for Europe to the Reform Treaty: A Literature Survey on European Constitutional Law (Perspectives on Federalism, Vol. 1, Issue 1, pp. 13-41, Summer 2009) on SSRN. Here is the abstract:

The aim of this paper is to offer a brief overview of the international literature regarding the European Constitutional Law. It is possible to identify five groups of studies which will serve as guidelines of this review article: 1. The Constitution for Europe and the constitutional moment; 2. The Constitutional Treaty and the innovations 'proposed'; 3. The European Court of Justice?s activism; 4. The Constitutional stop and the rise of the Reform Treaty; 5. The notion and the nature of a Constitution for Europe after the constitutional failure.
