‘Law, Space and the Political‘, University of Wrocław, Poland, 3-5 September 2015:

The choice of this year’s theme – ‘Law, Space and the Political’ – is a concious move aimed at linking the troubled history of our region of Europe with current challenges posed by the on-going crisis. As we explain in more detail in the call for streams, we see the triangular relationship between the legal, the spatial and the political not only through the lens of Chantal Mouffe’s theory of ‘agonistic democracy’, but also as an invitation to reflect upon the political dimension of legal transplants, the tensions within the European ‘Area of Freedom, Security and Justice’, as well as on various other possible aspects, ranging from the spatial dimension of sovereignty to legal proxemics.
