Research project at EUI
Working title: Supervisor: Co-Supervisor: Liaison Professor at the EUI:
Outline of the project Though the USA are a popular (if not the most popular) object of comparison for the EU, it is, however, today's US-American example of federalism that usually serves as a framework for a structural comparison between the United States and the EU. Thus, the USA are commonly perceived as a “fully-fledged” federal state created by the sovereign act of a single demos “We the people”. In contrast to this narrative, the EU is perceived as an imperfect or an incomplete/unfinished federation. As far as can be seen, research on the European Union has—so far—only insuffiently paid attention to the fact that other federations have also had (and still have) an extensive debate over the nature of their Union. It is the aim of the research project to explore the so called “nature of the Union” debates in the United States and Canada to ascertain the parallels to the European discourse.
Other/previous projects Book project on “European Legal Culture”, University of Oxford and LMU Munich. Joint, DFG funded, project by ZEI and Ifri: Germany and France in the face of European crises.
