The methodology to approach discussion will revolve around comparative analysis of constitutional law and their influence on EU constitutional law.
The first part of the course is thus devoted to the principle of democracy and the development of the European Union and its defining features, then centering on the principle of primacy and the preliminary rulings procedure. The second part focusses on the actors of European integration and their interplay. The third part is devoted to the principles of direct effect and State liability. The fourth part is scheduled to deal with fundamental rights. Finally, in the fifth and last part of this course, questions of union citizenship and human rights' protection shall be discussed, followed by a general wrap-up discussion.
