The workshop is one of four parallel workshops organised as part of the conference Democratic Constitutionalism in Europe on 4-6 November 2014.
It is part of the EuroDiv project Integration and division: Towards a segmented Europe?
Participation upon invitation.
Conveners: Helene Sjursen and Bruno Oliveira Martins
This workshop discusses the constitutional and democratic implications of developments within the domain of foreign and security policy. The main questions to be addressed are: what, if any, is the constitutional identity of the EU in the domain of foreign and security policy? And what are the democratic implications of a putative constitutionalisation of this domain? Contributors will address these questions from a variety of theoretical and normative perspectives and through a focus on different empirical dimensions related to the EU’s global role.
