Colonialism and EU Law: The Case of Algerian Wine

Join us for a lecture by Daniela Caruso, Professor of Law Emerita at Boston University School of Law and former director of BU's Center for the Study of Europe. In her publications, Caruso focuses on private law and on the regulation of markets (whether domestic, regional, or international) as crucial elements in the political transformation of institutions and governance. At the core of her research is the relation between the laws of the market and the rise of inequality. In 2015, she was awarded a Jean Monnet Chair by the EU Commission.

This event takes place as part of the Center for the Study of Europe's Decentering Europe initiative, the aim of which is to promote a critical understanding of Europe through its complex heritage, which owes its richness to countless contributions from other regions of the world, including Africa. In an increasingly multipolar world, we believe Europe can only be understood in relation to other sites of socio-cultural production, political engagement, and economic transformation.
