This seminar is focused on the legal and institutional dimensions of the European Union (EU), taking into account its internal dynamics, the relations among EU member states, and the interaction with the most relevant third countries and with international organizations. The seminar aims to bring legal and governmental expertise to the study of EU competences and policies with a particular interest in understanding how poor governmental structure or lack of EU legal competence affects policies and the daily lives of citizens.

Note: This seminar was formerly known as the EU Law and Government Study Group. For details and past events see here.
