This Study Group focuses on the legal dimension of the study of European integration. Serving as a bridge between HLS and CES, it brings legal expertise to the Center to address the EU’s novel architecture and sui generis institutional dynamics. Our aim is to produce synergies with other areas of study such as economics, political science or history.
