    <description>Title: Contextualized cosmopolitanism: Human rights practice in South Korea
Authors: Shin, Yoon Jin
Abstract: There are three prominent criticisms directed against those engaging with human rights practice: First, the claim that human rights norms effectively erase the local in favor of an abstract universal; second, that human rights enterprises fail to appreciate its Western colonial continuities; and third, that the rights discourse functions predominantly in a top-down mode, drowning out the multitude of voices on the ground. Drawing on the dynamic aspects of human rights practices by and through the Constitutional Court of South Korea - which the paper understands as contextualized cosmopolitan human rights practices - this paper illustrates how such criticisms are too generalized. First, it illuminates the conflicts, struggles and innovations developed in the course of the court's engagement with international human rights norms: illuminating how the court incorporates the norm as a substantive standard for rights review, while defying a simple priority of international human rights law in a domestic legal order. Second, it examines the court's transforming self-identity reflected on and evolved through its engagement with foreign law and practice of human rights: observing the court's self-emancipation from a traditional focus on a few influential powers to a more inclusive comparative practice across wider jurisdictions of the world, and its effort to establish itself as a regional leader in human rights jurisprudence. Third, the practice of the court shows how rights discourse productively internalizes the tension between local traditions and universal standards. Finally, the paper underlines the role of individual rights-holders in the above contexts and argues that the empowerment and emancipation of the individual is a genuine effect of rights contestation and the rights review system. Through these contextualized and bottom-up cosmopolitan human rights practices, local rights actors concretize and advances the meaning and the operation of universal human rights norms in their specific contexts.</description>

    <description>Title: What future for the European Union?
Authors: Avbelj, Matej
Abstract: Stimulated by the European Commission's White Paper on the Future of Europe, this article engages critically with the Commission's five scenarios. Driven by a normative ambition of equipping the EU with adequate constitutional, institutional and socio-political means for coping with its many crises, the article argues in favour of the reformist vision of the EU's future. It claims that a new constitutional process for European integration should be launched. On its basis the EU would be reconstituted as a union, a special federal constitutional form, embedded in the normative spirit of pluralism. The article presents the arguments in favour of such a scenario and flashes out the reasons for which the many constitutional actors in the EU, as well as the latter as a whole, could benefit from it. It concludes that in the following few months there might emerge a historical window of opportunity for a qualitative reformist leap in the process of European integration. While the way back to the glorious days of the nation state is effectively closed off and the present status quo in the EU is plainly unsustainable, the article sketches a theoretical framework for the reformed European Union of tomorrow.</description>

    <description>Title: The concept and conceptions of transnational and global law
Authors: Avbelj, Matej
Abstract: The following contains a transcript of the workshop, which was held in June 2015 at the Graduate School of Government and European Studies in Ljubljana, Slovenia. The workshop marked the final stage of Dr. Avbelj's research project, supported by the Slovenian Research Agency, which was dedicated to the Post-modern challenges of transnational law to the European Union. The workshop gathered four leading scholars in the field of transnational and global legal studies: Jose-Manuel Barreto, Mattias Kumm, Gianluigi Palombella and Neil Walker. They have touched on the contemporary most pressing issues of transnational and global legal regulation.</description>

    <description>Title: Dimensions of justice &amp; justification in EU and transnational contexts
Authors: Herlin Karnell, Ester; Kjaer, Poul F.
Abstract: This discussion paper is part of a series of contributions to the conference "Towards a Grammar of Justice in EU Law', which took place on 6-7 November 2014 at VU University Amsterdam, sponsored by ACCESS EUROPE Amsterdam, VU Centre for European Legal Studies and the Dutch Research Council VENI grant. The introduction to this special issue presents the contributions and explains the main idea behind this collection of papers. Specifically, the special issue explores a grammar of justice and justification through political theory, legal and sociological perspectives and discuss their relevance in EU and transnational governance. In addition, this introduction links the papers together and supplies some concluding thoughts.</description>
