Dr. Tamar de Waal

Tamar de Waal is Assistant Professor at Amsterdam Law School (University of Amsterdam). In 2017 she defended her dissertation “Conditional Belonging” on the proliferation of integration requirements in EU Member States, for which she received the VWR-dissertation prize for best dissertation in legal philosophy in the Netherlands. It examines the relationship between the proclaimed commitment of Member States states to the core liberal-democratic values of the EU and their actual integration laws and practices. During her visit at MPI she will be revising her dissertation for publication as a monograph at Hart Publishing.
