Interdisciplinary Research Methods in EU Law

This talk will focus on the recently published 'Interdisciplinary Research Methods in EU Law: A Handbook' (Deplano, R., Gentile, G., Lonardo, L. and Nowak, T. (eds.), Edward Elgar, 2024).

This comprehensive Handbook provides a critical and analytical guide to the application of interdisciplinary research methods in EU law and explores the advancement of the EU legal landscape from an interdisciplinary research perspective.

Venturing beyond doctrinal legal scholarship, it reflects on the cognitive synergies between EU law and other disciplines, and advances the debate on contemporary trends in EU law research.
