About Andreas Moberg

I mainly teach EU law, including on the course EU Law in the National Legal Order in the Law Programme at advanced level, as well as on several courses in the interdisciplinary European Studies programmes at bachelor’s and master’s level.

My research focuses on the European Union and has, over the years, covered areas such as the EU’s external relations, from both a public international law perspective and an EU law perspective, and the EU’s efforts to promote and strengthen the protection of fundamental rights, both internally and externally. This has included a particular focus on the rule of law and the procedure under Article 7 TEU. I have also worked on interdisciplinary European research, including a project examining how Member States’ observations in preliminary ruling proceedings before the Court of Justice of the European Union influence the Court’s judgments. In addition, I have worked on the screening of foreign direct investment within the EU and its Member States.

Between 2020 and 2025, I worked on a research project funded by the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency, which mapped and analysed the legal preconditions for civil protection and preparedness. My role in the project was to highlight, in particular, the legal preconditions arising from Sweden’s obligations under the EU Treaties.

From 2026 onwards, I am working on a research project concerning how EU defence cooperation is implemented within policy areas that are not primarily concerned with defence cooperation. The project is constitutional in nature and focuses on supranational cooperation in areas with both civilian and defence-related dimensions, or dual-use areas, in light of the principle of conferral.

I am also leading a research project on how EU law is used within the Swedish national legal order. The project starts from the premise that lawyers working in Sweden tend to disregard EU legal sources to a greater extent than they perhaps should. It aims to test this premise empirically and, if there is evidence to support it, to analyse the reasons for this and propose measures to address the issue. The project also has a teaching dimension. The course EU Law in the National Legal Order (HRS208, an elective advanced course in the Law Programme at the University of Gothenburg) addresses these questions and trains lawyers to become better at determining when EU legal sources may be relevant in a specific case.
