We encourage graduate students and researchers from across Europe, especially
researchers from Eastern Europe and graduates with alternative perspectives towards the EU, to contribute papers and to participate in the discussion panels. Each panel will include approximately 3 to 4 papers. Discussion topics include, but are not limited to:
- The impact of the EU on democratic consolidation in new or emerging developing countries in the process of democratic consolidation
- Negotiations, strategies and instruments used by the EU
- Fields and areas of democratisation
- Rule of law and justice - Economy - Institution-building - Rights of minorities
- Internal structures relevant for the democratisation process- Parties - Civil society - Political culture
- Perception and legitimacy of the EU
- Critical voices of European integration
