Selected projects

VEGA 1/036/19 New Dimension Of The Methodology Of The Legal Argumentation - A Role Of The Legal Principles In Multi - Level Legal System, 01/2019-12/2021, principal investigator


The scientific objective of the project is to investigate the conflict potential of legal principles in the process of solving conflicts arising between different levels of the legal system. Finding a suitable argumentation model that is uniformly acceptable across all levels of the multilevel legal system is one of the most recent challenges of the current legal science. The appropriate methodological solution is the traditional argumentation method of grasping the problem of gaps, just completed with the dimension of processes of globalization and Europeanisation. The innovative way of applying the legal principles makes it possible to achieve a value consensus between national, European and international legal systems. Part of the project is the analysis of the problems of this methodological procedure and the examination of the importance of the constitutional principles of the Slovak Republic in the multi-level communication process.
