9th Geneva Jean Monnet Doctoral Workshop - Effective Judicial Protection and EU External Action
University of Geneva, 26 November 2024
The Centre d’études juridiques européennes (CEJE) of the University of Geneva, Jean Monnet Centre of excellence, and the Ghent European Law Institute (GELI) of Ghent University organise a Doctoral Workshop at the University of Geneva, under the direction of Prof. Dr. Christine Kaddous and Prof. Dr. Peter van Elsuwege (Ghent University), on the topic: “Effective Judicial Protection and EU External Action”, in cooperation with the ESIL Interest Group The EU as a Global Actor and the Association Suisse pour le droit européen (ASDE).
Background
Effective judicial protection is a general principle of EU law that can be derived from Article 19 TEU. It is reaffirmed in Article 47 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights, which entails that any person whose rights and freedoms guaranteed by EU law are violated should have the right to an effective remedy before independent and impartial courts and tribunals. As upheld by the Court of Justice on several occasions, the very existence of effective judicial review designed to ensure compliance with provisions of EU law is a core element of respect for the rule of law.
Taking into account that the EU’s external action is subject to the EU’s values as defined in Article 2 TEU, the question arises how the principle of effective judicial protection affects the law and practice of the EU’s external activities. Moreover, supporting the rule of law is one of the objectives of the EU’s external action (Art. 21 TEU). From this perspective, this workshop aims to address, amongst others, the following issues:
- Effective judicial protection and the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP);
- Dispute settlement mechanisms under international agreements concluded on behalf of the EU;
- The role of soft law instruments in EU external action;
- Informal arrangements in the EU’s migration policy;
- Effective judicial protection as a condition for EU membership;
- Etc.
Conditions for submission
Interested PhD students and young scholars should submit their abstracts, in English only, of 600 words (approximately one page). The proposals should address the theme of the Workshop mentioned above. The said proposals, accompanied by detailed CVs and motivation letters, should be submitted to no later than 15 July 2024.
Selection process
The organisers will review the submitted proposals. A final selection will be made and communicated in August 2024.
Confirmed participants are expected to provide complete drafts of their papers, of between 8000-10’000 words, in electronic form, no later than 31 October 2024.
Publication
The final version of the papers can be published in the Geneva Jean Monnet Working Papers attached to the University of Geneva or the Law & Criminology Journal at Ghent University. Depending on the coherence and quality of the papers produced, an edited volume may be considered.
Organization and coverage of costs
The Centre d’études juridiques européennes and the Ghent European Law Insitute will cover the accommodation costs in Geneva (one night) and the meals during the workshop. Travel costs will be taken in charge either by the participants or by the Universities or Research Centres or Institutes to which they are affiliated.

8ème Atelier doctoral 2023
University of Groningen, 21 April 2023
EU Diplomacy: Confronting Legal and Political Insights
University of Groningen (UG), The Netherlands, 21 April 2023
New Location! Norman Building, Lutkenieuwstraat 5, Groningen
This Jean Monnet Workshop is organised by the Department of European and Economic Law of the University of Groningen in the context of the EUDIPLO network on “The European Union in International Diplomatic Relations” (http://eudiplo.eu/), which was officially launched in November 2020. It is meant for PhD students and other early career scholars.
Background
Over the years, the EU’s development as a diplomatic actor has been impressive. With over 140 Union Delegations around the world, the EU has established a network that resembles that of states. The functions of the Delegations largely coincide with those of state embassies. At the same time, the Union has become active in other international organisations, not just as a coordinator of Member States positions, but also in its own rights.
While many studies have focused on this new role of the EU as a diplomatic actor, there has hardly been any exchange between different academic disciplines. This workshop aims to do exactly that as its aims to bring together early career researchers on EU diplomacy with different backgrounds, including European law, international law, international relations, political science, and EU studies. Paper proposals addressing an issue of EU diplomacy are welcome. We encourage both theoretically, empirically and dogmatically driven papers on the topic of the workshop. While mono-disciplinary proposals are very welcome, it will be necessary to indicate the importance of the approach for other academic disciplines. Final papers will also be aimed at a multidisciplinary audience as the main goal of the conference is to learn from each other’s insights.
The draft papers will be commented on by more senior staff and selected papers will be published freely online in online journals we work with. Titles of the panels may be fine-tuned on the basis of the selected papers, but we hope to cluster the presentations around the following three themes: 1. EU diplomacy: internal EU constrains and opportunities; 2. EU diplomacy: external constraints and opportunities; 3. EU diplomacy: options for its development.
Possible themes could relate to the division of EU and Member State competences, international diplomatic/consular law, international institutions, non-intervention, international relations perspectives, the changing world order, state power or state prerogatives, the EEAS and the Union Delegations, the EU’s mediation power, ‘frontiers of EU diplomacy’, internal EU politics facing external challenges, EU development aid, narratives of EU diplomacy, neo-colonialist approaches to EU diplomacy, a European Political Community in the making, to name just a few.
