Abstract
[From the Introduction]. On the eve of the second preparatory phase of the 2004 IGC, it is urgent to reflect on the Laeken formula. If we know more or less what to expect from well established preparatory approaches, what could be the performance of this latest method? In other words, is it likely to deliver clear recommendations, shape the IGC agenda and output, or even lead to the adoption of a Constitution for EU citizens? Success or failure will largely be determined by opportunities and constraints ensuing from the type of mandate, institutions and processes chosen. Those three dimensions therefore need to be systematically reviewed.
