Summer School - The Politics of European Law and the Law of European Politics, 2022, University of Groningen, Netherlands

Publish Date: Mar 14, 2022

Deadline: Jun 13, 2022

Event Dates: from Jun 27, 2022 12:00 to Jul 01, 2022 12:00

The strategic choice of this summer school is to address, from an interdisciplinary perspective, various ways in which law and politics of the EU and in the EU interact. On the one hand, the programme aims at analysing how political challenges inform and shape the making and implementation of EU law. On the other hand, it seeks to identify how law influences political rationales and actors.
The programme is designed for graduate students as well as for practitioners. Through a mix of both general and topic-focused lectures, and case-study seminars, after this one-week programme you will develop a fine understanding of mutual interdependence of Law and Politics in the European integration project.
The special focus of the 2022 Summer School edition is the “The Many Facets of the EU Strategic Autonomy”. The notion of the EU strategic autonomy emerged in 2013 and was associated with the development of defense capacities of the EU. The concept evolved through negotiations and debates to a broader idea that includes economic, energy and digital autonomy of the EU. Today’s unprecedented challenges that the EU has to address seem to revive the original idea of European defense autonomy. The aim of this year edition is to address the concept of “strategic autonomy” not only from legal and political science perspective but also in its different sectorial facets.
The ELP Summer School gives you a unique opportunity not only to gather knowledge, but also to expand your personal and professional network. During the social activities in the programme (sightseeing, dinners and drinks) you will be able to meet participants of different personal and professional backgrounds.
