L’opposition wallonne au CETA : une politisation à risque pour l’Union ?

Manon Damestoy’s (Saint-Louis University Brussels/University of Nantes) research takes place at the crossroads between public policy analysis and political theory. She is interested in European democracy and the negotiations of the so-called “new generation” free trade agreements, particularly the CETA and TTIP.

Here, Manon examines the controversy surrounding the CETA, a free trade agreement between Canada and the European Union that was strongly criticized by several actors at the time of its adoption. Through a content analysis of speeches as well as the positions adopted by the European institutions, she identifies the consequences of this issue on the politicization of Europe, as well as the questions of legitimacy brought up in its regard.
