What are the features and futures of a just world that fits within planetary boundaries? How can we imagine them in a way that acknowledges the deep entanglements between human and non-human worlds while addressing the ubiquity of entrenched asymmetrical power relations that structure global societies? Possibly this is one of the events I’m proudest of. In very bleak times, this is a small attempt at collective re-imagination of our world at the beautiful art center Mediamatic located in Amsterdam, co-organized with my wonderful colleague Laura Burgers Contributions by: 🌱Usha Natarajan, one of the leading voices of Third World Approaches in International Law, on Eurocentrism and the production of knowledge 🌱Margarita Nieves Zárate, a Columbian lawyer working on energy transition, on her experience growing up in a region that economically depended on resource extraction and the need to seriously turn towards sustainable consumption 🌱Pippi van Ommen, environmental activist formerly part of Extinction Rebellion, on the difficulty to find hope, and the need to collectively reckon with hundreds of years of colonialism, capitalism, and patriarchy. 🌱In my essay I argued that veganism, which is deeply entangled with feminist ideals, is a small daily act of resistance to the violence that structures our food systems. It is a simple small way to show humility and start building solidarities with non-human worlds. + 🐞Inhuman Carnival: a project from Mediamatic that interrogates the current fashion system by asking whether dressing as non-humans can allow us to center non-humans and break out of our anthropocentric views. + Beautiful art by Kyra Sacks, a visual artist working to integrate art and social sciences Thank you TWAIL review for publishing this collection of essays 💜 and thank you everyone for contributing ideas, art & energy https://lnkd.in/dm4WYPdb

Twenty years ago, on 1st May 2004, ten new states joined the European Union , eight of which from Central and Eastern Europe. The 2004 round quickly earned the name “big bang” enlargement, as it was the largest, in terms of the number of new countries and population in the history of the European Union, as well as the most challenging expansion of the EU. A historic enlargement ending most of the divisions of post-1945 Europe and the Cold War, Günter Verheugen, then EU Commissioner Enlargement called it an ‘act of historical justice’. Eastward enlargement was significant also in the history of EU integration, with substantial impact on EU law and politics. An ambitious process of legal, political, and economic transformation, which was widely celebrated as a success. With enlargement, the EU actively promoted democracy, open and competitive market economy, human rights and the rule of law. Twenty years on, and in the aftermath of numerous crises including the financial crisis, the rule of law crisis and the current security crisis due to Russia’s war against Ukraine, Eastern enlargement emerges as a test case for the EU’s integration capacity, and its transformative power, as a neoliberal experiment in economic policy, and a key process to shape the EU’s own constitutional identity. A challenge in many aspects, EU enlargement remains a theme with complex questions that require cross-cutting research, dialogue and debates between various disciplines exploring the deeper layers of this process. On 14th May, Our Amsterdam Centre for European Law and GovernanceSymposium, co-organized Amsterdam Centre for European Studies will focus on these and other formal and informal questions related to Eastern enlargement. From 13.00 CET, we meet in persons at Universiteit van Amsterdam - Faculteit der Rechtsgeleerdheid, or online. Our speakers include László Andor, Rene van Hell, Ms Beti Jaceva, Narin Tezcan-Idriz, Blerta Begisholli, Giacomo Tagiuri, Thomas Vandamme. We will close the day with an EU Enlargement Quiz organized by Our Rule of Law Foundation. More info and registration here: https://lnkd.in/eu_DJ4Dt
