Abstract
What do colonial continuities look like in EU law? In what ways has colonialism shaped the practice and theory of EU law? In seeking an answer to these questions, this presentation will focus on how acknowledging colonial history could and should inform the present and future practice of EU law. Understanding the relationship between colonialism and EU law can show whether, and how, to change the law as it stands.
