Abstract
Republican theory has observed a remarkable revival in political philosophy in recent years. The insights of the republican contributions could also be fruitful for European integration, if they are separated from communitarian believes and if republicanism and public good theory a combined in a coherent way. Especially the concept of a “res publica of public goods” seems to be a promising approach; however, some construction sides remain in order to make the approach applicable to European integration.

For Schachtschneider, it has been the first in a long line of constitutional complaints. He filed, together with other fellow campaigners, further complaints against the introduction of the euro in 1998, against the treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe (2005), against the Treaty of Lisbon (2008), against the rescue programme for Greece (2010) and against the policy of the German government during the refugee crisis (2016).
