Call for papers:

The research conference is aiming to address how EU accession affects formation of national identities and the European identity, and how such identities become integrated into European values, legal principles and legal rules. Organizers welcome papers discussing experiences of previous accessions as well as those discussing how European values affect candidate countries and other states still in transition that have European aspirations.

We also encourage papers discussing different understandings and visions of the internal market, and how such understandings affect legal interpretation on national and European level. We look to explore the issue to what extent have such understandings changed following the big bang enlargement, and whether evidence of change / continuity can be found in the Treaty of Lisbon and post-Lisbon developments in case law of the ECJ and institutional practice.

Keywords: european identity, national identity, internal market, enlargement, economic constitution, market freedoms, interpretation, legal pluralism, general principles of law, values
