In 1970, a seminal conference dedicated to the ‘European economic constitution’ took place at the University of Liège. After half a century of doctrinal debates, the notion has now become a key concept not only in law, but also in other social sciences (economics, political philosophy, etc.). The 7th Journées internationales David-Constant therefore propose to retrace the somewhat turbulent history of the concept and to study its current relevance within the various (state and supranational) legal orders in Europe. Coinciding with the launch (in Open Access) of the book : G. Grégoire & X. Miny (eds.), The Idea of Economic Constitution in Europe. Genealogy and Overview (Brill), the symposium gathers the nearly thirty contributors to the volume, in order to extend the discussions covered in the latter.

The symposium will first aim to clarify the assumptions and presuppositions of the theories underlying the notion of ‘Economic Constitution’. Second, it will seek to identify the legal and political effects of economic constitutionalization. Beyond the global overview of the issues in positive and comparative law, the speakers will also question the theoretical and conceptual frameworks that structure the current debates in and across law, economy and politics. To that end, each of the three days of the conference will be devoted to a global theme: 

  • ‘Genealogy of the Concept’; 
  • ‘European Economic Constitution’; 
  • ‘National Economic Constitutions and Global Governance’

The conference will be held in hybrid format (on site and online) and both in English and French, with simultaneous translation, and will be organized in such a way as to encourage stimulating and interactive exchanges within the panels and between the speakers and the audience.

This collective project is coordinated by  Guillaume Grégoire and Xavier Miny, researchers at the Faculty of Law, Political Science and Criminology of the University of Liège, and supervised by a scientific committee composed of professors and researchers in law from ULiège, UCL and UMons: Frédéric Bouhon, Marc Bourgeois, Wim Decock, Quentin Detienne, Damien Piron, Nicolas Thirion, Pieter Van Cleynenbreugel and Antoine Vandenbulke.
