Lab Research Fellow to Present at Harvard
Research Fellow Maksim Karliuk will take part in an International Conference of the Institute for Global Law & Policy at Harvard Law School on 1-2 June 2015.
The conference is aimed at showcasing innovative thinking about global law and policy. Maksim will be speaking at a panel, convened together with the colleagues from University of Brasilia, University of London, University of Geneva, University of Bahrain, and Addis Ababa University. The topic of the panel is 'Regional and Constitutional Structures in Tension: Setting an Agenda for Research on Regional Governance in Africa, Europe, the Gulf, the Americas and Eurasia'.
The panel will explore the channels of interactions between regional organizations and constitutional law. The panelists will go beyond the dominant traditional accounts of regionalist frameworks and will attempt to unpack the legal and political interactions between actors in transnational arenas with a particular focus on the transformation of national constitutional orders. The panel will shed light on the power structures and technocratic elite discourses in the regional context. It will also explore the possibilities of an epistemological break with the globalized Western-centric conceptual frameworks of constitutionalism with its conceptual categories, its logics, its historical and philosophical benchmarks, and, most importantly, with its language that embraces all of these factors.
Maksim’s presentation entitled 'Eurasian Economic Union vis-à-vis its Member State’ Constitutions' will explore a number of issues regarding the challenge of dominance within the integration process, and the protective responses, which have introduced the power play to the detriment of the autonomy of the legal order of the organization. Maksim will explore the influence of these factors on the national legal orders and the struggle to establish a new autonomous legal order.
