Call for Members: European Integration & the Global Political Economy
In June 2011, the CES launched a new network on European Integration & the Global Political Economy, which already has over 60 members. The network has a dual focus: It analyzes the extent to which the EU impacts on-going reform dynamics in a global post-crisis context, focusing on the ideational and strategic influence of the EU on key actors, and how they impact countries with differing institutional legacies and contexts. It also focuses on governance and decision-making through the Lisbon Treaty in a broad range of policy areas, and how these relate to issues of popular legitimacy and contestation in the EU and beyond.
The network aims to build bridges between scholars transnationally, hierarchically, and across disciplinary boundaries. It endeavours, for instance, to connect scholars analyzing reforms from a comparative and national perspective with those interested in Europeanization. Several panels are organized within the remit of the network at each CES conference, and the CES organizes a luncheon for the network at each annual conference. The network is also developing its own research portal through which collaborative endeavors can be constructed and shared. The network provides a genuine opportunity for developing innovative research in the area of European Integration & the Global Political Economy.
