Fernando Pérez Domínguez

MEMBER OF THE ORGANISING COMMITTEE

Dr. Pérez Dominguez’s research interest mainly deals with the debate on the future of Welfare State; especially in relation to Social rights and their new conditions for exercise like individualism and contractualism trends, techniques, procedures and other innovative ways of management for public services and social benefits. In this way I have studied the development of social rights (especially in the context of labour market) and the Welfare state at European and autonomic or regional level in some of my published works. 
Furthermore, I’m interesting in fundamental rights protection, case law study – public freedoms and freedom of speech, particularly – and the integration of public policy evaluation and efficiency perspective with the public spending control and the scrutiny of the work of the government.
I have developed these lines of research from two areas of legal specialization: Labour Law and Constitutional Law. Firstly, during my predoctoral period I worked as researcher at the Labour Law Department at the University of Huelva and at Bologna University; where I developed my PhD Eur Thesis about “Il jobseeker: la tutela delle transizioni nel mercato del lavoro” and obtained the qualification of “Suma Cum Laude”.
After that I joined in 2009 the Public Law Department (area of Constitutional Law) at the University of Huelva until today. There, I was Assistant Professor (Constitutional Law) from 2009 to 2016, and became Associate Professor in June 2016 after being accredited (Profesor Contratado Doctor) by ANECA in 2014. 
During these years I have developed my research inside several projects and groups funded by the national and regional research programs. In most of the cases, they were interdisciplinary groups of work which made possible the integration of diverse Public Law areas’ points of view. I have also been postdoctoral researcher at the Constitutional and Politic Studies Centre at Madrid.
