4EU+ Shared Courses - Additional Courses – deadline

“European constitutional law and theory”  offered by Professor Armin von Bogdandy, Director at the Max-Planck-Institute of Comparative Public Law and International Law.
 
The course will cover the following themes:

EU law is essential to many operations in European society, and to many political conflicts concerning its future evolution. Many see the upcoming EU elections as a choice for much more or much less Europe. But what is Europe, the object of those conflicts? Constitutional theory is a path to answering this question that is as scholarly as political. The lecture will present the contested foundations that allow a constitutional understanding of EU law and provide a republican account of EU law in a critical dialogue with other theories. Thinkers such as Kant, Hegel, Durkheim, Schmitt, Böckenförde, Weiler, Amato, Nicolaidis, or Forst will be discussed as well as key judgments and events, such as the financial crisis, Brexit, democratic back sliding, Covid and the war in Ukraine. The lecture should help students to get a better grasp on EU law and politics and to identify their own position.
