On October 7th, Poland's Constitutional Tribunal ruled that key articles in the Treaty on European Union are incompatible with the Polish constitution. The ruling set off a confrontation between Poland and the EU, large protests in Poland, and general fears both in Poland and Brussels that Poland is moving toward a "Polexit." Is it? In this roundtable, political analysts and experts in EU and Polish law will discuss the current crisis' political origins, its institutional underpinnings, and its potential outcomes.

Panelists: Marcin Menkes, associate professor, Warsaw School of Economics, and visiting professor of law, U-M; Sławomir Sierakowski, political analyst and co-founder, Krytyka Polityczna; Jarosław Szczepański, assistant professor of political science and international relations, University of Warsaw, and Academy of Justice, Institute of Law (Warsaw). Moderator: Geneviève Zubrzycki, professor of sociology and CCPS/WCEE director, U-M.
