INTEGRATION THROUGH LEGAL EDUCATION?
THE ROLE OF EU LEGAL STUDIES IN SHAPING THE EU
EU integration has been certainly fostered by EU
law, thanks to a process of legal unification/harmonisation of national
jurisdictions: in this perspective, not only EU law has been decisive for the
establishment of the single market, but it has also contributed to the creation
of a common political dimension in Europe.
Anyway, although EU legal order is deep-rooted in
the mind of European lawyers and legal scholars, very little study has been
dedicated to the role of legal education in the process of creating the EU
polity.
In other words, how much the development of academic
writing on EU law and EU legal education in general have been relevant in the
process of political integration, besides to the role played by national
governments, European institutions and the European Court of Justice? In other
words, next to the substantial legal integration determined by the signing of
the Treaties and the ECJ’s case-law (“first level unification”), major
attention should be also put on EU legal education as an indirect factor of
legal convergence (“second level unification”).
This call for papers is specifically aimed at
collecting valuable academic writings on the development of EU legal studies in
the EU Member States and its role in shaping the EU as a polity.
Combining an interdisciplinary approach to law and
education, the call is addressed to researchers in EU law with a particular
interest in legal education, focusing on one of the following EU Member States:
-
Italy
-
France
- Germany
-
UK
-
Scandinavian countries
and covering, for the chosen country, the following
aspects:
-
how have EU legal studies developed in the particular country?
-
most studied issues
-
main academic schools and institutions
-
most influential journals and books published in the particular country
-
impact / influence of EU legal studies in the strengthening of the EU
polity.
The abstract (500 words) is due by 30th October
2010, while the final version of the contribution will be presented in Rome in
January 2011, within an international conference on the matter organised by the
Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence, University of Rome Tor Vergata.
The final version of the paper (6000-8000 words)
will be submitted by 20th December 2010.
The papers will be collected in a volume to be
published by the end of 2011. All the transport and accommodation costs will be
covered by the Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence of the University of Rome Tor
Vergata.

Dear colleagues,
The Universidad Pontificia Comillas (Madrid) intends
to submit an application in order to create and coordinate an Erasmus Academic
Network about Childhood law and children rights.
We are writing to you because we would like to count

with our proposal for the next appeal of candidatures expected around February
2011. For the future the first steep will be to send to the European Commission
the list of universities and other institutions that wish to take part in this
project, in which at least 31 countries must be represented. In case you are
interested in that project we would be very thankful if you would be so kind to
send us a brief summary explaining the big lines of your activities (10 lines
would be more than enough) as well as all other informations or proposals you
want. After that we will present a complete candidature with all of activities proposes and the particular
participation on those activities of each of you. For that reason we also would
like to know in a better way you, your skills and expertise areas and former
experiences related to the subject of the Network and we would be very thankful
if you would be so kind to send us a sort report of you, your activities and
main interest areas.
We would appreciate if you can circulate this
information to persons who are interested in participating in the Network.
We are very enthusiastic with the project as long as
two of the priority areas of study are Law and Children and both are not
sufficiently covered by other Networks in the Lifelong Learning Programme.
We would be very pleased to work with all of you in
the future and to enhance cooperation on children rights in the European
context. A brief summary taken from the application conditions and other EC
documents on Erasmus Academic Networks of the last call is given below.
