On the potential of place and place of potential

This contribution to the symposium on Legal Geography and EU Law reflects on Floris de Witte’s paper. It makes two points: one about the potential of thinking about place in (and for) EU law and a second about the idea that potentiality itself – a notion which alludes to what could be – could be thought of in spatial terms. The overarching suggestion is that these ways of thinking offer insights into the meaning of meaning in EU law.
