Dear Colleague,
With great pleasure we announce the European and National Constitutional Law Closing Conference, which will take place between 20-22 February 2013 in Maastricht, The Netherlands.
A European constitutional law
‘The European Constitution’ is best perceived as a composite Constitution, comprising constitutional rules and principles developed at European level, complemented by (common) national constitutional rules and principles as well as those from other sources such as the ECHR and international law. Crucially, European as well as national law are involved in defining a European constitutional law.
The EuNaCon Project
The ERC-funded European and National Constitutional Law (EuNaCon) project commenced in 2008 with a view to contribute to a better understanding of the national components of Europe’s composite Constitution. National constitutional traditions and principles have been analysed and compared on several key themes of constitutional law, and the insights obtained have been used to formulate a better understanding of Europe’s composite Constitution.
The Closing Conference
During the Closing Conference, the results of EuNaCon’s five individual sub-projects will be presented and discussed. Four of these projects offer a detailed comparative analysis of how a selection of Member States and the European Union approach classic themes of constitutional law, respectively addressing:
1. The individual and political participation
2. Parliaments and governments
3. Constitutional interpretation and review
4. Territorial pluralism
The fifth project seeks to formulate a conceptual view of the European Constitution that is firmly rooted in common constitutional principles and traditions, while coping with constitutional diversity.
In addition, there will be ample room for broader reflections on related pertinent issues of European and national constitutional law by means of presentations and comments by leading experts in the field.
A draft programme is appended to this email for your easy perusal. For more information and registration, please visit the following link:
