Framing the subjects and objects of contemporary EU law: Final Conference
Institute for the Study of European Laws, The City Law School, City University London and Kent Centre for European and Comparative Law Workshop
The final workshop in the research project, The Subjects and Objects of EU law, purports to explore how we frame the subjects and objects of contemporary European Union (EU) law. The inquiry as to the subjects and objects of public international law is one long scorned upon as fruitless. Nevertheless it may be a particularly revealing inquiry in EU law which has explicitly sought to differentiate itself as a new legal order of public international law, expressly conceiving a new subjects and objects paradigm.
The workshop aims to foster a discussion that considers both the internal and external dimension of the subjects and objects issue, based on the premise that the ability to define the subjects and objects of EU is fundamental for legal certainty and the rule of law as well as the EU’s legitimacy in the wider world.
