In the last decade, some EU Member States have introduced legal and political reforms which undermine the rule of law, human rights, and democracy. The EU has struggled to come to terms with these changes, which have serious implications for its functioning, its credibility and its identity. The EU institutions have sought to address these violations using various tools, but so far nothing seems to be working.
This conference brings together distinguished scholars as well as policy-makers and practitioners to discuss important questions concerning this situation and the future of the rule of law in the EU.
