"EU Law in Populist Times" Book Launch

Join the International and Comparative Law Program as they host a panel discussion about Professor Francesca Bignami's edited book EU Law in Populist Times.

The rise of Euroskepticism and populism poses a dramatic challenge to the EU and highlights the EU’s growing legal powers over core areas of state sovereignty. Authored by leading academics and policymakers, this book provides a comprehensive and cutting-edge analysis of the fields of EU law at the heart of contemporary political debates. Following the specialist contributions, the conclusion draws out critical lessons for improving legitimacy in sovereignty-sensitive areas of EU law.
