For decades, scholars interested in Europe
have concentrated their attention on state comparisons and on the
institutionalization of the European Union. As the second decade of the
second millennium gets under way, we can no longer neglect the deep
transformations in Europe’s society that have followed the joint
processes of globalization and European integration.
Transnationalization is the word that arguably best captures these
transformations, for it encapsulates at once the broadening of the
Europeans’ economic, political, social, and cultural experiences that
has taken place in the last two to three decades. The rise of these
transnational pressures and vectors of political pressure stands in
tension with the political organization oriented around nation-states
in Europe. Transnationalization on today’s scale is a recurring
phenomenon in Europe’s history, however, and it works as well as a
metaphor for previous periods in which local walls were destroyed and
replaced by economic, political and social re-organization on a greater
geographic scale. In examining today’s transformations we are thus
well-advised to revisit previous processes of transnationalization, so
that the analysis of the present helps us understand the past and the
analysis of the past helps us illuminate the present.
For the 2011 conference, hosted by the Institut Barcelona
de'Estudis Internacionals (IBEI) and to be held at various university
venues in Barcelona, Spain, the Council for European Studies (CES)
welcomes proposals for panels, roundtables, book discussions and
individual papers on the study of Europe broadly defined. This year,
for the second time, we are also entertaining the submission of panel
clusters around a theme, giving participants the opportunity to create
a mini-symposium within the conference (please no more than 4 panels
per theme). Each panel proposal will be reviewed individually by the
Program Committee, and each panel belonging to a cluster will be
acknowledged as such in the conference program.
We encourage proposals in the widest range of disciplines; in
particular, we welcome panels that combine disciplines, nationalities,
and generations. All panel proposals need to be submitted stating a
chair and a
discussant, although they can be the same person).
The Council for European Studies fosters and recognizes outstanding,
multidisciplinary research in European studies through a range of
programs, including conferences, publications, special events, and
awards. The Council´s international conferences bring together scholars
from a multitude of countries and a variety of fields for discussion
and interdisciplinary exchange.
Deadlines and Submission Procedures: All
proposals must be submitted between September
1, 2010 and October 10, 2010. Note that each panel proposal
must include abstracts for all individual papers, as well as a general
description, a chair and a discussant. More
information on the conference will be available here and in upcoming
issues of the CES newsletter.
