ACELG

Provides insights on European Law from an academic perspective. Discusses the latest developments in the context of the surrounding legal and political systems as well as wider structures of (global) governance

The ACELG Blog is a forum where more than 25 researchers from the Amsterdam Centre for European Law and Governance (ACELG) provide you with perspectives on topical (European) issues.

The ACELG is a Centre of Excellence established by the Law Faculty of University of Amsterdam in 2009. Our ambition is to advance and expand academic research on significant issues of societal relevance. More importantly, we want to link this academic research back to the community and contribute to the broader public debate. Hence, our blog themes include but are not limited to: constitutional developments in the European Union, internal market analysis, foreign relations of the EU, administrative law and governance, and EU citizenship. Since we strive for a dialogue beyond the academic community, your feedback and questions are very welcome!
