L鈥檈space de libert茅, s茅curit茅 et justice de l鈥橴nion europ茅enne : une politique comme les autres?
One of the fundamental objectives of the European Union is to offer its citizens an area of freedom, security and justice without internal borders and using a single currency. However, dealing with delicate questions such as state sovereignty and fundamental issues that touch upon immigration rights and the war on terror is complex. The classical model of how broad community and public policies are established does not always succeed. The speaker will critically analyze this construction through the lens of the Treaty of Lisbon to measure what has been accomplished so far and what remains to be addressed.
