Encadrement des cryptomonnaies en droit pénal européen: réflexions sur la mise en réseau du droit

The project is to conduct an interdisciplinary research which follows a theoretical approach motivated by systems theory. This theory observes a dynamic within society which has consequences on sovereignty and which ends up in the development of fragmented legal frameworks. This change is observed through the example of the ecosystem of cryptocurrency developing its own functional rules and the reaction of the criminal justice system (especially through the anti-money laundering legal framework) which is used as means of social control upon the ecosystem. This has consequences not only on the legitimacy and on fundamental principles of criminal law but also on fundamental rights. The goal is to develop an autonomous legal order that would enable to address these issues.
