Europakonventionen och juristernas epistemiska mobilisering

Just nu skriver jag på en artikel om varför Sverige och Danmark beslöt sig för att inkorporera EKMR i början av 1990-talet. Där fokuserar jag på det politiska spelet: Hur Socialdemokratiet i Danmark och Moderaterna i Sverige intar rollen av normentreprenör. Men man skulle också kunna skriva historien ur juristprofessionernas perspektiv, för det tycks ha pågått en febril aktivitet bland nordiska domare, advokater, rättsvetare och statstjänstemän från ca 1987 och framåt.
