The European Union Centre of Excellence at York is pleased to present the third in its  series EUCE Lectures in Law and Governance on March 8, 2011“Power and Legitimacy: Reconciling Europe and the Nation-State”. The lecture will be given by EUCE York Visiting Scholar Prof. Peter Lindseth (School of Law, University of Connecticut) from 12:30-2:00 pm in room 108 Osgoode Hall Law School (building #32 on the map found here). In this paper, Prof. Lindseth looks to history to provide an explanation of the nature and legitimacy of European governance by providing detailed examination of certain fundamental but often overlooked elements in EU history.

Prof. Sakis Gekas (History, York) will act as a discussant.

This event is co-presented with the Osgoode Hall Law School’s Putting Theory in Practice Series (PTTP) as well as the Comparative Research in Law & Political Economy Network (CLPE).

This is an open event, but attendees are asked to preregister at euce@yorku.ca
