The EU Constitution in the Time of War: Legal responses to Russia's Aggression against Ukraine  

Join us for a conversation with Federico Fabbrini, Full Professor of European Law at the School of Law & Government of DCU to discuss his new book. Federico is also the Founding Director of the Brexit Institute and of the Dublin European Law Institute (DELI).

Embracing a comparative analytical framework, this book examines how the EU constitution has functioned in response to Russia's aggression. It scrutinizes the EU's legal reactions across five key policy areas: foreign, security, and defence policy; economic and fiscal policy; justice and home affairs; energy and industrial policy; and enlargement and reform. In doing so, it investigates whether the EU constitution has enabled the EU to respond effectively to the war, how EU treaties have been interpreted to authorize war-related actions, and whether these responses have adhered to constitutional limits.
