The Constitutional Law and Politics Working Group will host a session with Christoph Möllers, Professor of Public Law and Jurisprudence at Humboldt University zu Berlin and visiting fellow at the EUI.
The session compares two seemingly very different legal phenomena (rule of law conditionality against member states in the EU and 'anti-extremist' conditionality for public art funding in democratic states) in order to better understand the justifying idea behind this instrument.
At first glance, this idea has a contractual flavour: If A gets something from B which A is not entitled to get, B can in exchange ask for conditions beyond purely legal behaviour. In the session, we will develop and discuss this analysis.
Professor Christoph Möllers is just at the beginning of his reflections on the topic. The two texts are, therefore, not perfectly on spot.
The English one gives at the end a separation of powers account of rule of law conditionality; the German text is a forthcoming book on artistic freedom. For those who read German: Chapter V is relevant, but be warned, it is very dry and doctrinal!
All interested fellows, PhD researchers, professors and visiting academics are invited to participate.
The Zoom link and further material will be shared with participants upon registration.
