What, and who is EU law for?

A special issue on critical approaches to EU law that I edited has just been published, with short essays from a wonderful group of scholars.

We are thrilled to make this research accessible to a wider audience. Read the full article here: www.cambridge.org/core/service...

This article sheds light on the complex intersection of populism, law, and non-state actors, offering insights into how these dynamics are transforming the legal-political landscape.

The article examines how right-wing actors (especially NGOs) in Europe are strategically engaging with legal systems to advance their agendas. Far from rejecting the rule of law, they are leveraging it - often in collaboration with populists - to challenge liberal norms and human rights.

📢 Excited to share that my and @mstambulski.bsky.social latest article "Populism, Non-State Actors, and Right-Wing Legal Mobilization in Europe," has been published in the International Journal of Law in Context and is now freely available to everyone www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

My few thoughts on the Polish rule of law restoration.

“It seems that the sovereign, when it comes to the rule of law, is the one who determines who is a judge.”

🔥 It's out! 🔥
