So welcome to the start of the sales,

large time seminars this term.

I'm really delighted to Asimaud Hara from University of Helsinki.

It has a long journey to Cambridge to today,

so thank you very much for coming along.

As you can see from the title of presentation today, EU constitutionism crisis and the security of the European project.

And I think about the big themes of European integration, European constitutionalism.

He tells me that he's just finished and has it in the book,

which is actually going to explore the nature of the European polity

that's coming out of the end of this year with Edward Elgar.

So we all look forward to that.

So in the meantime, thank you again for coming

and I want to look forward to your presentation today. Thanks. Thank you very much, Kenneth

and so really thanks for inviting me. I think this is a really great opportunity for me.

Must be probably the second time we're here so always very short term but it's always a pleasure to be in

Cambridge and well you already have an idea what I'm going to talk about and my interests are

between your constitutionalism something or comparative constitutional. So I use these areas to explore

the nature of the opinion. And what I'm going to talk about now, as Kenneth said, is

a part of almost like perhaps a synthesis of the results of my book. because I'm Italian I can't help using an

Italian painter from Renaissance and this is Lorenzetti from Siena has a

painter from the Renaissance and this is a famous allegory of good and bad government.

You can see here, of course, all the images, representations of the virtues of good government.
