Video: Jan-Werner Müller, "Could there be a Dictatorship inside the EU? On Mandates and Limits for Supranational Militant Democracy"

We missed this initially, but network member Daniela Caruso (BU) recently alerted us to the Conference on Constitutionalism in Central and Eastern Europe, held at the Clough Center for the Study of Constitutional Democracy at Boston College on October 18.  The conference may still be of interest to readers because the keynote was given by network member Jan-Werner Müller (Princeton) and was entitled "Could there be a Dictatorship inside the EU? On Mandates and Limits for Supranational Militant Democracy". The conference overview and the video can be accessed here. Enjoy.
