Summary

This introductory chapter sets the scene for the book, explaining its tripartite structure and identifying the key questions addressed. The chapter offers a brief overview of European consensus as an interpretative technique, discusses the inherent limitations in the attempts to conceptualise it and normatively evaluate it, and provides some insights into the direction of travel that further study of European consensus may take.
