Call for papers: A Review of Current Trends in Foreign Relations Law (Dornburg, maj 2019 r.)

W dniach 9-10 maja 2019 r. na zamku w Dornburgu odbędą się warsztaty pt. "A Review of Current Trends in Foreign Relations Law". Organizatorzy są szczególnie zainteresowani następującymi tematami wystąpień:

• Allocation of authority: To what extent is the conduct of foreign relations seen as belonging primarily to the executive branch or rather as a shared competence of all branches of government?
• Democratic legitimacy: How do different dimensions of democratic legitimacy interact and contradict each other in the field of foreign relations law? 
• Modes of control of the executive: How is control in the area of foreign relations law organized in a temporal dimension? What is the relationship between forms of an ex-ante and ex-postcontrol ? Does parliament have any instrument to demand positive action from the executive? Or does it only have a veto power?
• Dynamic of Procedures: Is there a change with respect to the procedures in foreign relations law (reflecting the developments sketched in our invitation letter)? Is there, for instance, a trend towards earlier information of parliaments about imminent foreign policy decisions? 
• Hybridity of Foreign Relations Law: If foreign relations law is of a hybrid character, combining elements of both international law and domestic law, does this strengthen or rather dilute the normativity of international law? Are there similar concerns about a dilution of normativity of constitutional law? To what extent is the field of foreign relations law shaped by the normative expectations and structures of international law? Conversely, in how far is international law a product of the combined processes governed by foreign relations law and construed in the light of domestic law? 
• Role of Courts: What is the role of courts in foreign relations law? Are there emerging trends, for instance towards a greater role of courts in controlling the executive? Or does that depend on individual subject matters and jurisdictions?
• Overarching Narratives: What are the overarching narratives about the development of the field? ‘Normalization’? Democratisation? Should they be reassessed? 
• History of the Field: What is the history of the field in scholarship? And what role does history play in the practice of foreign relations law?
