معرفی
Professor Robert Schuetze is Professor of European and Global Law at Durham Law School, Durham University, with a distinguished career in EU constitutional law and comparative federalism. He also serves as Co-Director of the Global Policy Institute in the School of Government and International Affairs. His academic work bridges law and political theory, with significant contributions to understanding the EU's constitutional structure.
His research interests focus on Comparative Constitutional Law, EU Constitutional Law, International Law, and Legal History and Political Theory. Schuetze is particularly known for his 'federal' reading of the European Union, examining how federal models can explain EU governance structures. His work often explores the constitutional dimensions of European integration, with special attention to the concept of 'demoicracy' (government by peoples rather than of a single people).
His publications reveal a consistent focus on EU constitutional development, with recent works examining demoicracy models, historical foundations of international law, and the internal market. His scholarship shows a progression from analyzing the EU's constitutional structure to exploring broader questions about multinational democracy and global governance.
