CfP: The EU’s Lisbon Treaty

The EU Centre of Excellence at Dalhousie University hereby invites paper proposals for its fourth Annual Conference which will take place at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Canada, from Sunday evening 6 June until Tuesday 8 June late afternoon.We are interested in papers covering the roles of the major actors during the negotiations, e.g. various member states, the Commission and the European Parliament. The role of the German Presidency hopefully can be covered in one of the papers. Obviously, it is hoped to get a paper on the problems of ratification in Ireland. Needless to say, there should be papers on the two member states derailing the Constitutional Treaty, France and the Netherlands, and difficult partners, such as the UK, Poland and the Czech Republic. Abstracts of paper proposals (max 500 words) and a short cv should be mailed to euce@dal.ca by 19 March 2010. A maximum of 24 papers will be accepted for the conference. Accepted paper titles will be listed on the EUCE’s website www.euce.dal.ca by 2 April 2010.
