Integration Through Law and the European Union

Integration through law and the European Union: Political and Legal Developments vs. Polycrisis
With this international research conference we aim to promote the dialogue on European integration and reflect on the history of integration processes against the backdrop of polycrisis experiences. We emphasise an exchange on legal dimensions of integration, highlight the law as substantive instrument of integration and question the conceptual and accompanying scientific discourse:
- Integration through law: What does the grand theory teach us and how does it perform in face of the polycrisis?
- Resilience of the legal community: Which aspects are crucial for a political, legal and institutional balance?
- Populism and illiberal trends: How to deal with populist parties and governments from European perspective?
- Conception of the EU past and present: What is the conception of the European Union? In how far do political, legal and citizen expectations towards the EU diverge?
