This conference will focus
on the current global crisis and its consequences for the future of European
integration. The underlying assumption is that such a crisis poses threats to
existing structures, values and achievements, but also offers opportunities for
critical reassessment and improved solutions to exigent problems.
Approximately 30 papers
will be presented at this conference by participants from more than 11
countries. They will address such questions as:
-
What impact does the
economic downturn have on international relations and the process of EU
integration in particular?
-
What kinds of business strategies should be adopted for economies in the
downturn?
-
Are interventions in the financial sector sufficient to prevent further
instability?
-
Does a crisis of this magnitude trigger critical reconsideration of the idea
of a European Union?
-
How can political,
social and cultural considerations contribute to comprehensive solutions
towards a new European reality?
As the hosting academic
institution of this conference, we aim to explore the contribution that academia
can make to catalyse an adequate response to the crisis through dynamic
discussions with the papers' presenters.
Come join us for a unique
academic conference and the beginning of an important dialogue about the future
of Europe!
