Date for the Diary 📅 1pm Wednesday 3 April Seminar in UCD Sutherland School of Law Prof. Dr. Martin Belov of Sofia University St. Kliment Ohridski will deliver a seminar: 'Rule of Law and Democracy in Times of Constitutional Polycrisis and Constitutional Polytransition'. The seminar will take place in the Harty Boardroom, L106 and all are welcome to attend. Prof. Dr. Martin Belov is visiting the School from the University of Sofia ‘St. Kliment Ohridski’, Bulgaria as part of our Sutherland Fellows programme. Abstract: This lecture will be devoted to the rule of law in a state of flux and its increasing malperformance in the emerging post-democratic context and shall be based on several novel concepts with paradigmatic importance for the understanding the crisis of rule of law and democracy and the chances for the reestablishment of sustainable rule of law. The most important of them are the constitutional polycrisis and the constitutional polytransition. Martin goes on to explore the interplay between constitutional normalcy, crisis, and emergency, outlining the effects of emergency constitutionalism and constitutional polycrisis on the rule of law and democracy in times of constitutional transitions and assess their impact on sustainability of rule of law in post-democratic contexts.

In a new empirical study published in the Nordic Journal of International Law, Silvia Steininger of the Centre for Fundamental Rights - Hertie School, along with co-authors William Hamilton Byrne & Raphael Oidtmann, maps how international law interacts with the social sciences via a detailed analysis of scholarship & funding structures. This is a research project which encompasses over 15,000 documents from 1907 until 2022, delivering insights into both temporal and regional trends within the relationship between international law and the social sciences. 👇 Read the paper here: https://lnkd.in/divETfqM

The Court of Justice is selling "Supremacy" as "Rule of Law" and it is ruining both principles, opening a black hole of accountsbility at the supranational level and undermining the basic coherence of EU law.

This short paper by contributor Ioannis Lianos (UCL) examines the emergence of the concept of ecosystems in competition law in recent years. This is not a linear process, and a competition law and policy theory of ecosystems is still in the making. The recent more systematic use of the concept in competition law proceedings nevertheless provides some clues as to the possible development of this concept and the effort of conceptual clarification that needs to occur. #antitrust #competitionlaw #ecosystems #economics https://lnkd.in/gDXniWpb

Faculty scholarship spotlight! #uhmlawschool Prof. Melissa Stewart received the 2023 AALS Section on International Law inaugural New Scholars Award for her article, Cascading Consequences of Sinking States. In Cascading Consequences, Prof. Stewart examines the phenomenon of sinking states—low-lying island states at risk of the submergence of the entirety of their territory due to sea level rise—and offers a novel perspective on what the existence of sinking states reveals about cracks in the foundation of international law. 🔗https://go.hawaii.edu/yLN

War and peace, as dichotomous concepts, oversimplify complex situations. In this paper, Tobias Vestner, our Director of Research and Policy Advice Department, examines how international law addresses the division between hashtag#war and peace through an analysis of jus ad bellum and jus in bello. It reveals that international law lacks clarity, blurring the boundaries and creating a legal grey zone. Learn more about its implications for the future of peace and war from a normative perspective.
