Sofie Fleerackers
GEM-DIAMOND doctoral fellow
ESR 3 – Law and practice of the rule of law within the European Union
As a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Fellow, Sofie focuses on the practice of interest representation in the European Union, and the question of its adequate regulation.
Understanding the interplay between lobbying and litigation in the EU’s multi-level governance structure is essential to our awareness of the European policy-making process and, ultimately, of the rule of law.
A strong believer in the value of interdisciplinary research, Sofie intends to bridge academic scholarship on interest group politics and judicial integration.
