"Perceptions of Europe and Perspectives on a European Order in Legal Scholarship During the Era of Fascism and National Socialism"

Workshop at the European University Institute,
Friday 29 September - Saturday, 30 September 2000

Florence - Via Boccaccio 121 - Villa Schifanoia (Sala Bandiera)
organised by Professor Christian Joerges with the assistance of Navraj Singh Ghaleigh

This workshop explores the relationship between National Socialist and Fascist legal theory and contemporary European thought. Although those creeds are often thought of as solely nationalistic (and indeed they were), both comprised developed visions of Europe which, in various ways, continue to resonate.
