The legal framework of justice and home affairs
Format: lecture & seminar
The second lecture provides an overview of the legal framework that defines and regulates the competences, the decision-making process, the scope of policies and their implementation in the various policy fields of justice and home affairs. In overviewing the legal framework, the lecture also discusses the erstwhile third pillar framework and the relevant modifications introduced by the Lisbon Treaty.
Question for a short position paper and subsequent in-class discussion (question is based on reading): What is interesting in the interplay between EU institutions and Member States in the area of freedom, security and justice?
