Guest lecture by Antje Wiener
“Constitutionalism, Unbound or Scrutinised? The Kadi Cas”
by Antje Wiener, Professor of Political Science and Global Governance at Hamburg University (Germany)
In the 21st century, international relations feature a paradox. On the one hand, there is an increase in constitutionalism all over the world; for example, references to constitutional norms and processes have become a familiar feature in the context of the European Union and the World Trade Organization. On the other hand, the authority of international organizations and the interpretation of international law are frequently subject to controversy. Antje Wiener will elaborate on this development at the example of the decision of the European Court of Justice on the Kadi Case, which opened new interpretations of interaction between European law and international law.
Antje Wiener was appointed to the Chair of Political Science & Global Governance at the University of Hamburg in April 2009 where she is currently also Managing Director of the Centre for Globalisation and Governance. Before coming to Hamburg she was a Professor of Politics and International Relations at the University of Bath and a Professor of International Studies at the Queen’s University of Belfast. She obtained her PhD in Political Science at Carleton University, Canada in 1996. She has taught at various universities including Stanford University, Sussex University, Carleton University and the Free University of Berlin and has held several visiting fellowships. With James Tully she is the founding editor of the new international journal Global Constitutionalism which is to be launched soon.
