The rule of law is considered as a driver of legitimacy in the EU and the Member States. However, its specific meaning and scope continue to be debated by scholars but also increasingly contested by officials from countries where the rule of law is often said to be under threat. The event will address questions such as: Is the rule of law a meaningless or too vague a concept? Can the rule of law be said to be a principle common to the EU Member States? What are the tools that the EU has and can effectively use to monitor and enforce respect of the ROL in the Member States?
