We announce the launch of our fourth major project, a collective monograph titled “Public Law, Human Rights, and Decentralization in France and Ukraine: From History to European Integration.”
This initiative represents a pivotal step in our mission at EADHC. It is built on a shared belief in the power of comparative legal research to inform and inspire. This project is important for us for two key reasons:
Bridging Legal Traditions
First, we aim to popularize the valuable French experience in public law and decentralization within Ukraine. The French legal tradition, with its robust framework for local governance and human rights, offers a wealth of knowledge that can be a model for Ukraine’s own reform efforts. By showcasing this expertise in a comprehensive e-book, we can provide Ukrainian scholars and policymakers with accessible, relevant, and practical insights.
A Timely Exchange
Second, this project fosters a crucial dialogue by highlighting the unique Ukrainian experience for a French-speaking audience. Following the full-scale invasion, Ukraine’s legal, political, and social landscape has undergone unprecedented transformations. The resilience of its public institutions and the challenges it faces in ensuring human rights during wartime are of immense interest to international scholars. We believe that this Ukrainian perspective is invaluable and deserves to be shared with our European partners.
This collective monograph is more than just a publication; it is a bridge between two nations, facilitating a crucial exchange of ideas and lessons learned. We are confident that this e-book will be a success and, in the future, we hope to establish it as an annual edition, furthering our commitment to ongoing academic collaboration between Ukraine and France.
