Overview
The National and European courts reacting to dissensus - The case of fundamental rights protection program from GEM Stones will focus on legal actors. This IRP will investigate judicial institutions in Europe and their role in the protection of fundamental rights, analysing the emerging trends of cooperation and conflict between national courts and European courts, including the reference made to the protection of the "constitutional identity" of Member States.
It aims to show whether the courts in Europe have adopted a common understanding of the rule of law in relation to the protection of constitutional rights or whether they opted to highlight elements of dissensus - e.g., regarding gender- elated issues. It also aims to investigate and analyse conflicts between domestic and EU law, and the role of courts in ensuring their resolution and the respect for the principle of primacy of EU law over national law in cases related to the rule of law and fundamental rights.

- Objective 3: Assessing the impact of increased dissensus regarding liberal democracy on the policy instruments of the EU and its capacity to act in its internal and external policies.
