Research Interest

This programme focuses on European law and of economic regulatory law. The European Union is considered an agent of legal and constitutional evolution. Its evolutionary pressure acts not only upon itself, but also, and sometimes more importantly, upon the Member States and upon international institutions. Developments may be divided into those which are dominantly structural or institutional (Sub-programme A) and those which are dominantly substantive (Sub-programme B).
