The Origins of the Sicilian Mafia: What We Know and What We Still Cannot Explain
Monday, September 19, 9:30-10:45 a.m.
Furman Hall, Room 120
Please join us for this breakfast talk with Professor Diego Gambetta, who is visiting NYU Law in the Fall of 2022 as a Hauser Distinguished Global Fellow and is the Carlo Alberto Chair in Social and Political Science, Collegio Carlo Alberto. The discussion will be moderated by Reiss Center Faculty Co-Director Stephen Holmes, Walter E. Meyer Professor of Law and co-author, most recently, of “The Light That Failed: A Reckoning.”
The origin of the Sicilian mafia has been attributed to the demand of property rights enforcement in the markets of land, sulfur, citrus fruits and labor conflicts in 19th century Sicily. But what about the “supply”? How has the mafia developed and maintained its power of intimidation for 180 years? On September 19, Diego Gambetta, author of “The Sicilian Mafia: The Business of Private Protection” and “Codes of the Underworld: How Criminals Communicate,” will reflect on the as yet unsolved mysteries of this organization.
This event is co-hosted by the Reiss Center on Law and Security and the Hauser Global Law School Program.

A Panel on the Virtues and Vices of "Scholactivism"
Wednesday, September 28, 12:00-1:45 p.m.
22 Washington Square North, 1st Floor Lounge
What is the line between the role of an academic legal scholar and a lawyer-activist? Are these roles similar, partially overlapping, or entirely distinct? And how can we negotiate the tensions between the different roles that the study of law and legal scholarship ask of us, if at all?
The Hauser Global Law School Program cordially invites you to a panel discussion of these and related questions about the connections between scholarship and activism in the law, featuring Hauser Global Professor Tarun Khaitan, Princeton University Professor Kim Lane Scheppele, NYU School of Law Professors Gráinne de Búrca, Mattias Kumm and Jeremy Waldron, and Hauser Post-Doctoral Global Fellow Oren Tamir.
The background context for this discussion is a recent editorial written by Professor Khaitan for the International Journal of Constitutional Law (ICON) criticizing the increased appearance on the public law and comparative public law scene of “scholactivism,” a practice which in his view inappropriately meshes the role of legal scholar and lawyer-activist. That editorial generated substantial commentary (and quite heated controversy) across the universe of public law scholars and beyond, as reflected in multiple tweet-storms and an online symposium on Professor Khaitan’s intervention in the leading public law blog Verfassungsblog. We encourage those attending to read Professor Khaitan’s brief editorial in advance, as well as his response to the Verfassungsblog symposium.
Light lunch will be available from 12:00 p.m., and the panel discussion will begin promptly at 12:30 p.m.

Informal Reading Group - Experimentalism: A Paradigm for Our Age?
Tuesdays, February 14, March 07, 4:15–5:45 p.m., March 28, April 18, May 09, 12:15–1:45 p.m.
22 Washington Square North, 1st Floor Conference Room
It is hard to deny that constitutional democracies are under severe strain these days. They face rising levels of polarization and inequality. And they're encountering harsh and extremely vocal criticisms for failing their missions of improving the welfare of their citizens. International organizations don’t fare much better as well, faced as they are with what scholarship has identified as a growing “backlash” against them. This reading group will explore if we might be able to make headway in resolving this contemporary malaise by embracing more seriously a particular governmental paradigm—that of experimentalism. This paradigm suggests a rather radical break from how we usually think about organizing societies and their laws, at both the domestic and the international levels. Among experimentalism’s key features are a commitment to consistent innovation, learning, policy mobility and scale-up of successful innovations, and the blurring of hierarchical lines between regulators, regulated entities, and civil society broadly understood.
The reading group will begin by covering the theory underlying experimentalism, including its key ideas and their supposed advantages. We will then move to explore the application (both real and possible) of experimentalism in three specific contexts: international law, administrative law, and urban law and policy (and localism more broadly). The reading group will then conclude with a discussion of critical views of experimentalism and possible responses to those criticisms. Throughout, we will have various guests who have written and considered experimentalism joining our class—from NYU Law and beyond.
The reading group will be coordinated by Elena De Nictolis (Hauser fellow), Nedim Hogic (Emile Noël fellow) and Oren Tamir (Hauser fellow). All students and NYU affiliates are welcome to join the group, and there are no prerequisites. Light refreshments will be served.
For queries and any other request, feel free to email Elena De Nictolis at: ed2527@nyu.edu. See the post in the Docket.
