Stephen Gillin käsite uusi perustuslaillisuus viittaa poliittiseen projektiin, jonka tavoitteena on juridisin keinoin ja säännöin rajoittaa talouspolitiikkaa, vahvistaa markkinakuria, lisätä pääoman valtaa, sekä mukauttaa nämä tavoitteet kansainvälisin sopimuksiin ja instituutioihin. Käsitettä on sovellettu erityisesti Euroopan talous- ja rahaliitoon (EMU) etenkin eurokriisin yhteydessä. Tämä artikkeli kysyy, missä määrin uusperustuslaillinen projekti EMU:ssa on onnistunut rajoittamaan jäsenmaiden finanssipolitiikkaa, epäpolitisoimaan taloudellista päätöksentekoa ja sitouttamaan keskeiset instituutiot budjetti- ja markkinakurin ylläpitämiseen vuosina 2015–2020. Artikkeli käy läpi dataa euromaiden velkatasoista ja alijäämistä, analysoi vuoden 2015 tapahtumia Kreikassa ja tutkii Euroopan komission ja Euroopan keskuspankin toimintaa tästä näkökulmasta. Artikkeli tuo myös esille uuden perustuslaillisuuden keskeisiä jännitteitä, rajoitteita ja ristiriitaisuuksia, jotka ovat tulleet yhä ilmeisemmäksi euroalueella.
