Rule of Law in Europe
The conditions under which these notes were prepared reflect the little time that could be devoted to their preparation. Circumstances inherent to my position drastically limited my availability to do better. This explains the erratic tone of my considerations, which I have not had time to organise and systematise properly. Added to this, of course, is the fact that I am not a professional …

Researching with Proximity
We are being told: ‘It is perhaps not wise to go to trekking during ‘räkkä’ time, the mass occurrence of insects—mosquitoes, blackflies, and midges— during the northern summer.’ As experienced trekkers, we already know this, but we have no option: this is the only weekend possible for us to go for a hike, and we are eager. I only wish for a miracle, to avoid having very …
