Reconnet Conference

RECONNET (Research in Constitutional Theory Network) is a network of scholars interested in constitutional theory, philosophy of law, political philosophy and sociology of law. This conference, supported by the Maastricht Centre for Law and Jurisprudence, the Faculty of Law of Maastricht and SWOL, is the follow-up event to the RECONNET kick-off seminar that took place in Valladolid, Spain, on 25-26 April 2024. It is organised in the premises of the Faculty of Law of Maastricht.

The conference seeks to conceptualise how developments such as Europeanisation, globalisation, digitalisation, and various crises and emergencies affect constitutionalism and democracy and potentially transform their mutual relationship. A key objective of the seminar is to identify the complex variety of actors involved in this transformation, including key drivers as well as losers and winners.

This will be a two-day event, with Carmen Pavel (Associate Professor in Politics, Philosophy and Economics at the Department of Political Economy at King's College, London) as keynote speaker. The keynote speech will be followed by a number of sessions in which members of the network will present their own work-in-progress. Junior researchers, in particular PhD and Master students, are especially welcome.
