SPECIAL EDITION ISSUE: THE EFFECTS OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC IN THE EUROPEAN UNION

 

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the European Union is facing unprecedented challenges ranging from possibly the worst economic crisis since its inception to a breakdown of European solidarity and fundamental rights. To join the discussion and provide a forum for scholarly debate, UNIO - EU Law Journal is preparing a special issue of the journal dedicated to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in the European Union.

This special issue will consist of the second number of 2020 and will be launched in the second semester.

 

UNIO – EU Law Journal is an open access online peer-reviewed journal with a blind review system. It falls within the scope of the Jean Monnet Chair entitled “Citizenship of rights: European citizenship as the fundamental status of nationals of the Member States” and it is scientifically supported by JusGov-CEDU - Studies in European Union Law (www.cedu.direito.uminho.pt), University of Minho, Portugal.

 

UNIO aims at publishing manuscripts which have a significantly advanced understanding of European Union law and enhance the production of knowledge in this area. UNIO accepts original papers written in English and which are not under consideration elsewhere at the time of submission. For the special edition issue, we are particularly interested in papers which address the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact in the European Union within the following areas:
