CFP: Rethinking the Grand Strategy of the European Union

The organizers invite proposals for a conference on “Rethinking the Grand Strategy of the European Union” to be held at Loughborough University, 24-26 May 2012. Proposals are welcome from both advanced research postgraduate students and established researchers. The broad aim of the conference is to explore the ways in which the external strategies of the EU contribute to the development of its international role and impact in a turbulent world, and the ways in which they are connected to the internal development of the European integration project. The conference is generously funded by the Centre for the Study of International Governance (CSIG) at the Department of Politics, History and International Relations, Loughborough University. If you are interested in presenting a paper, please send the following information to the organisers Cristian Nitoiu (c.nitoiu@lboro.ac.uk) and Nikola Tomic (n.tomic@lboro.ac.uk) by Monday 9 April 2012. The conference does not yet have a website.
