For the sixth edition of 'Meet the Author’, the Europa Institute will host Dr. Jan Zglinski, Associate Professor at LSE Law School and Research Fellow of the Oxford Institute of European and Comparative Law.
The discussion will focus on two of his recently (co)-authored papers: ‘The end of negative market integration: 60 years of free movement of goods litigation in the EU (1961–2020)’ and ‘Revisiting the asymmetry thesis: negative and positive integration in the EU’.
Zglinski’s central argument is that litigation on the free movement of goods has been disappearing at the level of the Court of Justice of the EU and that the dominant understanding of an asymmetry between positive and negative integration in the internal market no longer holds. Moderated by Dr. Vincent Delhomme, the discussion will examine this thesis and consider how the author positions himself in relation to recent critiques of his work, in particular those concerning the free movement of services.
In the context of The Meet the Author event series external academics come to the Europa Institute of Leiden Law School to discuss a recent publication by their hand. In an attempt to move beyond a ‘lecture-style’ set-up, the meetings will start with a conversation between a senior researcher of the Europa Institute and the author, after which the floor will be open for questions from the audience.
