GEORGIA

The Georgian Chapter of the International Society of Public Law (ICON•S) was established in February 2022 as a diverse and interdisciplinary academic forum to discuss contemporary challenges of public law.

ABOUT

It provides a forum for interdisciplinary debate on the development of public law and connects Georgian, European, and other international scholars across administrative, constitutional, and international law and related fields such as political science, political theory, jurisprudence, and political history. The international legal order, the future of the European Union and the accession of Georgia and other countries to it, and international security all call for growing dialogue and scholarly debate, as does the protection of democracy, the rule of law, and human rights in Georgia and across its region.

The Chapter offers a space for legal scholarship to deepen its engagement in public law debates at the global, regional, and national levels and to encourage dialogue with scholars from different legal traditions. It welcomes young scholars and practitioners from law and the other social sciences to take part in the debates promoted by ICON•S.
