Is academic freedom threatened? The book examines current
challenges to academic freedom in Europe, focusing mainly on Italy
and Germany. The cases discussed demonstrate that research and
teaching are under pressure in European democracies: in Hungary and
Poland due to political constraints, in other countries due to
societal expectations. Considering different interrelated aspects,
the four parts of the book explore many real and potential threats
to universities, scientific institutions and researchers, ranging
from the European dimension of freedom of the arts and sciences to
comparative analysis of emerging challenges to academic freedom
against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic. They highlight
threats to university autonomy from the economic orientation of
university governance, which emphasizes efficiency, competition,
and external evaluation, and from new rules concerning trigger
warnings, speech restrictions, and ethics commissions. Detailed
study of these complex threats is intended to stimulate scholarly
reflection and elicit serious discussion at European and national
level. The volume contributes to the search for a new role of
universities and scientific institutions and is addressed to
academics and political stakeholders.
The composite nature of the EU constitutional legal framework and
the presence of different fundamental rights protection actors
within the European landscape presents a complex and fragmented
scenario in search of a coherent structure. This discerning book
provides a thorough analysis and offers a unique perspective on the
future of fundamental rights protection in Europe. With engaging
contributions from both scholars and practitioners, the chapters
consider not only the role of judicial actors but also the
increasing relevance of non-judicial bodies, including agencies,
national human rights institutions, the Venice Commission and
equality bodies. The contributors cover the different features and
implications of judicial and non-judicial bodies at national,
supranational and institutional level, paying close attention to
their interaction and the ways in which each have a role to play in
a comprehensive fundamental rights policy. Particular attention is
paid to both the individual dimension of rights protection and the
systemic dimension of rights monitoring and advisory, which have
been largely overlooked in previous studies. Taking account of both
theory and practice, this book will be a valuable resource to legal
scholars in the fields of human rights protection, constitutional
law and EU law. Members of national and supranational human rights
organizations will also find this a valuable tool in discovering
more about the legal foundations of their work. Contributors
include: M. Avbelj, A. Baraggia, F. Fabbrini, M.E. Gennusa, S.
Granata, S. Imamovic, K. Meuwissen, S. Menghini, S. Ninatti, O.
Pollicino, C. Rauchegger, L.P. Vanoni, L. Violini
