At a time when Professor Philippe Manin is leaving the University of Paris I to devote himself to passions other than research and teaching, his friends and disciples would like to pay tribute to him and show their deep gratitude through Mélanges, nearly seventy contributions striving for renewal and union, two cornerstones of European construction, the great fields of European Union law in deep movement.
Philippe Manin was Professor of Public Law at the University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, Director of the University Centre for the Study of the European Communities (CUECE), now the Centre for Research on the European Union (CRUE), Director of the Postgraduate Diploma (DESS) in Common Market Law (now the Professional Master’s Degree in European Law) and of the Postgraduate Diploma (DEA) in European Law (now the Research Master’s Degree in European Law) and directly of the "International and European Studies" department within the same university.
Professor Philippe Manin’s rigorous analysis, modern approach, elegant language and great distinction have marked a whole generation of specialists in Community law, students whom he trained from the first cycle under the Jean Monnet Chair he held, but also young researchers, academics and practitioners, all equally keen to learn about European law, a discipline in full bloom at the time. His authority in Community law, in France and abroad, was not restricted to the circle of communitarianists, but extended to other horizons, the internationalists from which he himself came, the publicists and privatists, i.e. the members of a scientific community anxious to have a rigorous reading of the Community institutional system.
This homage is an opportunity to go through the formidable adventure of European Community and European Union law, the movement of which Professor Manin has helped us to better grasp.
