Debates : Controversies over Methods in EU Law
Methodological issues pervade contemporary debates in EU law. The multiple crises that the European Union is experiencing are leading EU law scholars to question their classical conception of EU law – a law of integration – and their relationship to the European institutions. The blog posts collected in this symposium provide an overview of these ongoing methodological controversies. The current state of EU law can be seen as an exemplary site for reflection on legal methodology and, more generally, on the restructuring moments of a disciplinary field. This opens new perspectives for the challenges EU law – and its scholarship – face in the 21st century, from fundamental rights to external pressures.
This symposium was organised by Vincent Réveillère and financed by the EU FOCUS fund. It follows a seminar series organized online by the LTD and the CERIC.
