Subsidiarity in Global Governance at ICONS Conference

ICON-S-logoAs part of the ICONS conference in Berlin, we’ll have a panel on ‘Subsidiarity on Global Governance’ in which we aim to discuss findings of our recent research project on the topic. We’ll have papers on the general theme (by Markus Jachtenfuchs and myself), on selective subsidiarity in the WTO (by Tomer Broude), on subsidiarity as a guiding principle in international human rights courts (by Andreas Follesdal) and on side-lining subsidiarity in collective security (by Isobel Roele). The papers are part of a broader symposium on the topic that will appear in Law & Contemporary Problems later in the summer. The panel, moderated by Grainne de Burca, will juxtapose different takes on subsidiarity and try to work out whether and to what extent the principle should serve as guidance for allocating powers in global governance. It will take place on Friday, 17 June, from 17:15 to 19:00 at Humboldt University in room BE2 E42. The overall conference programme is here – with lots of exciting talks and panels!
