Breaches of the Rule of Law
The rule of law is commonly celebrated as one of the fundamental values of the European Union, and yet there is a deep and persistent disagreement among Member States and EU institutions as to what constitutes a breach or violation of the rule of law in certain circumstances. My research will propose a new legal framework for dealing with breaches of the rule of law in order to reduce the above disagreement. The framework consists of three pillars: (1) a new typology of breaches based on their seriousness; (2) a robust set of guidelines for assessing whether a breach of a particular type has occurred; and (3) a list of possible remedies for each type of breach with an indication of their expected efficiency.
More specifically, the typology of breaches will systematise the data obtained from a pioneering experimental study of how variability in institutional context and/or variability in the breach-constituting factors affect our perception of the severity of a particular breach. Secondly, guidelines for the assessment of breaches of the rule of law will emerge from the combination of an experimental survey I will conduct to test the reliability and objectivity of different assessment standards and a cost-benefit analysis to determine their feasibility.
Finally, I will draw on the behavioural economic analysis of law to add nudges for institutional behaviour to the list of possible remedies for breaches of the rule of law and calculate the expected efficiency of various remedies for each type of breach.
