Interview with Nicholas Haagensen on the legal imaginaries of EU lawyers and the Eurocrisis
Welcome to the third podcast brought to you by the IMAGINE Project, run by Professor Jan Komarek and hosted at the iCourts Centre of Excellence for International Courts, University of Copenhagen. IMAGINE works on the Intellectual History of European Constitutional Imaginaries. Today, we will talk to another postdoc working at iCourts – Nicholas Haagensen – about his research into lawyerly imaginaries shaping the EU legal responses to the EU crisis. Nick works on a book on specific strategies adopted by lawyers and policy-makers desigining the EU legal response to the politically contentious issues of economic governance during the Eurocrisis. Nick is a political scientist and his research is based on a series of in-depth interviews with lawyers and policy-makers working for EU institutions. Stay with us, if you want to better understand how these lawyers and policy-makers imagine the main goals and objectives of their expertise and practices.
