Russia's war in Ukraine, rising instability in the Middle East and North Africa and an unpredictable transatlantic alliance expose deep vulnerabilities in Europe's defence architecture. Considering the precedent of the European Defence Community, the European Union now has the opportunity to implement changes that will create greater shared responsibility in defence and allow its security to be less dependent on the United States. This conversation with Sylvie Goulard, former French minister of defence and Trustee of Friends of Europe, and Federico Fabbrini, European Young Leader and Full Professor of European Law at Dublin City University (DCU), presented the outcomes of the ALCIDE (Activating the Law Creatively to Integrate Defence in Europe) project and the report “Getting Serious about European Defence Integration: The European Defence Community Precedent”.

In this episode of The Sound of Economics, Rebecca Christie invites Johanna Breuer, Emmanuel Mourlon-Druol and Federico Fabbrini to delve into the intricate dynamics of European public goods and how to pay for them. Together, they explore the historical, legal, and political foundations of joint European financing—tracing its evolution from the post-WWII period to recent crises like the pandemic and the war in Ukraine.

Guardiamo al delicato percorso con il quale l'Irlanda del Nord cerca di non ricadere nelle violenze a cui mise fine nel 1998, ma che la Brexit ha rischiato di fare riemergere. Da una settimana, dopo due anni di boicottaggio unionista, Belfast ha di nuovo un Governo. E per la prima volta alla sua guida c'è una esponente del partito indipendentista Sinn Féin. Che cosa ha consentito di uscire dallo stallo politico? Quali le sfide a cui unionisti e repubblicani dovranno rispondere? La prospettiva di un referendum per una riunificazione delle due Irlande è più vicina? E quali conseguenze potrebbe avere? Ne discutiamo con: FEDERICO FABBRINI - professore di diritto europeo alla Dublin City University PIERS LUDLOW - professore di Storia alla London School of Economics RICCARDO MICHELUCCI - giornalista e saggista
A un anno dall'effettiva entrata in vigore del divorzio tra Regno Unito e Unione europea, più di 6 elettori britannici su 10 ritengono che la Brexit sia andata male o peggio di quanto avessero previsto. Tra gli elettori che al contrario si sono espressi per restare nella Ue, l'86% ritiene che l'evoluzione della Brexit sia andata decisamente male o peggio del previsto. Solo il 14% di tutto l'elettorato ritiene che la Brexit sia andata meglio di quanto ci si attendesse. Facciamo un bilancio del lungo e travagliato divorzio tra il Regno Unito e l'Unione europea con Federico Fabbrini, direttore del Brexit Institute dell'Università di Berlino.
Lo scorso 22 febbraio Stroncature ha ospitato la presentazione dell'ultimo libro di Federico Fabbrini "Brexit. Tra diritto e politica". Con l'autore dialogano Roberto Menotti e Marta Dassù.
Today’s panel included Hildegarde Naughton, Robert Troy, Catherine Murphy, Gary Murphy, Noel Whelan, Federico Fabbrini,
Stephen J. Schulhofer, of New York University, gave an evening seminar entitled "Cross-Border Challenges to Data Privacy" on 17 March 2017 at the Lauterpacht Centre for International Law as a guest of CIPIL (the Centre for Intellectual Property and Information Law) and LCIL (Lauterpacht Centre for International Law). Stephen J. Schulhofer, the Robert B. McKay Professor of Law at New York University, is one of America’s leading scholars of criminal justice. He has written more than 50 scholarly articles and seven books, including the leading casebook in the field, and widely cited work on many criminal justice and national security topics. His most recent book, Surveillance, Privacy and Transatlantic Relations (Hart, 2017) (with David Cole & Federico Fabbrini) examines the multiple challenges to democracy and privacy as well as to national security and global economic development posed by technological advance and pressures for effective responses to transnational terrorism. His book More Essential Than Ever: The Fourth Amendment in the Twenty-First Century (Oxford University Press, 2012) provides a comprehensive analysis of Fourth Amendment history and current legal doctrine, along with discussion of contemporary problems concerning searches, electronic surveillance, and the intersection between national security needs and the right to privacy. His journal articles address counterterrorism, police interrogation, drug enforcement, indigent defense, plea bargaining, and many other criminal justice matters. Schulhofer’s current projects include analyses of national security secrecy, the right to privacy in electronic communications, and an empirical study of the impact of counterterrorism policing on immigrant communities in New York and London. Previously, Schulhofer taught at the University of Chicago and the University of Pennsylvania. He completed his BA at Princeton University and his JD at Harvard Law School, both summa cum laude. He then clerked for two years for US Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black and practiced law for three years before beginning his academic career.

A lecture by Federico Fabbrini, European and International Law, University of Copenhagen.
Federico Fabbrini (Faculty of Law, University of Copenhagen) delivered a talk on his book manuscript 'Economic Governance in Europe: Comparative Paradoxes and Constitutional Challenges.' The Euro-crisis and the legal and institutional responses to it have had important constitutional implications on the architecture of the European Union (EU). The purpose of the talk – which is based on the ongoing book project – is to offer a broad picture of how relations of power in the EU have changed, considering three different dimension: 1) the vertical relations of power between the member states and the EU institutions: 2) the relations of power between the political branches and the courts; and 3) the horizontal relations of power between the EU member states themselves. Federico Fabbrini will argue that, in the aftermath of the Euro-crisis, power has been shifting along each of these axes in paradoxical ways. In particular, as a brief comparison with the United States helps to reveal, the EU is nowadays characterized by a high degree of centralization in budgetary affairs, an unprecedented level of judicialization of economic questions and a growing imbalance between the member states in the governance of fiscal matters. As the talk will suggest, however, each of these dynamics is a cause for concern – as it calls into question important constitutional values for the EU, such as the autonomy of the member states in taking decision about taxing and spending, the preeminence of the political process in settling economic matters, and the balance between state power and state equality. To address these issues, therefore, the talk will suggest possible options for future legal and institutional developments in the EU, and discuss the challenges that accompany any further step towards a deeper Economic and Monetary Union.
Federico Fabbrini is Assistant Professor of European & Comparative Constitutional Law at Tilburg Law School in the Netherlands. In his new book, entitled Fundamental Rights in Europe: Challenges and Transformations in Comparative Perspective (Oxford University Press, 2014), Fabbrini analyses the constitutional implications of the highly complex European architecture for the protection of fundamental rights and the interactions between the various European human rights standards. By innovatively comparing this architecture with the United States Federal System, the book advances an analytical model that systematically explains the dynamics at play within the European multilevel human rights architecture. The book however also goes beyond simple theory and tests the model of challenges and transformations by examining four very interesting and extremely relevant case studies. In the end, a ‘neo-federal' theory is proposed that is able to frame the dilemmas of ‘identity, equality, and supremacy' behind this multilevel architecture in Europe.
