Conflict and conflict resolution
The Eurozone crisis is accompanied by a politicization of European governance. Transnational solidarity conflicts, which were pacified for a long time within the paradigm of a permissive consensus, have now developed a new quality. The tsc-project analyzes how these conflicts might be articulated and if constitutional courts may resolve them productively.

It analyzes more than 100 judgements with regard to their management of transnational solidarity conflicts in the context of the Eurozone crisis.

"Constitutional identity in Europe: Between recognition and conflict"

Panel talk

On 24 April the tsc-team will organize a panel talk on "Constitutional identity in Europe: Between recognition and conflict" at Goethe University Frankfurt. The panel will be composed of Prof. Dr. Liav Orgad (European University Institute Florence), Prof. Dr. Christoph Burchard (Goethe University Frankfurt), Prof. Dr. Stefan Kadelbach (Goethe University Frankfurt) and Dr. Anuscheh Farahat.  The panel talk seeks to assess the constitutional role and political effects of the concept of “constitutional identity both in EU and in domestic law. The core question is, to what extent this concept either produces new conflicts or helps ensuring recognition of plural constitutional traditions and concepts in the EU. Venue: Room 1.301 Building RuW, Goethe-University Campus “Westend”, 6 p.m.. Engaged listeners are very welcome.
