Descrizione del progetto
Abstract
The classification of Eastern European legal systems has always been a challenge for comparatists. The rise and demise of socialism in the region and, more recently the crisis of the political legitimacy of the EU, complicated the picture even more. How should legal systems of Eastern Europe be classified today, after the collapse of the socialist regimes? Which topics deserve more attention in times of rising populism?
The Project is a co-operative research initiative of the University of Turin, Italy (EU) and the University Saints Cyril and Methodius, Skopje, Republic of North Macedonia.
The project focuses on Central and Eastern European Countries (CEECs) and the Balkans in order to contribute to the debate by promoting the cross-fertilization of experiences and exchange of ideas among academic institutions, civil society, and SMEs.
