Expert on Europe

Professor de Waele has regular media experience, working with national and foreign media, both in print and live on air. Interviews so far mainly pertained to legal issues of European integration and selected topics of international law. Recent coverage includes BBC radio, Radio Free Europe, BNR News Radio, Deutsche Welle, and a number of Dutch, German, Belgian and Czech newspapers / magazines.

Primary research interest lies within the domain of EU institutional law, and concerns in particular inter-institutional dynamics, the Union's external relations, the effect of European norms in the national legal order, EU citizenship, and the system of judicial protection. My research also extends to the foundations and general principles of public international law.
