Call for
Papers: The Constitutionalization of European Budgetary Constraints: A
Comparative and Interdisciplinary Perspective
Venue: Tilburg Law School , Tilburg , the Netherlands
Dates:
30/31 May 2013
Organizers:
Maurice Adams, Federico Fabbrini, Pierre Larouche
The Treaty
on the Stability, Coordination and Governance of the Economic and Monetary
Union (generally referred to as the Fiscal Compact) has introduced a detailed
obligation that government budgets be balanced and required the 25 members of
the European Union (EU) which signed the Fiscal Compact to incorporate this
“golden rule” within their state Constitutions. This requirement represents a
major and unprecedented development, which raises formidable challenges on the
nature and legitimacy of national Constitutions as well as on the future of the
European integration project. The purpose of the Conference is to gather an
internationally renowned group of scholars to a) analyse the Fiscal Compact: b)
examine in a comparative perspective the constitutionalization of a balanced
budget rule in 25 EU member states; and c) discuss the constitutional future of
the European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU).
The
Conference will feature the participation of a number of distinguished
scholars, including Paul Craig (Professor of Law, St. John’s College, Oxford),
Renaud Dehousse (Professor of Law & Political Science, Science Po, Paris),
Ernst Hirsch Ballin (Professor of Law, Tilburg Law School and former Minister
of Justice of the Netherlands), Peter Lindseth (Professor of Law, Connecticut
School of Law), Enzo Moavero Milanesi (Professor of Law and current Minister of
EU Affairs of Italy, and former Judge, European Court of Justice), Ingolf
Pernice (Professor of Law, Humboldt Universität, Berlin

like:
