CFP: EU - 40 Years since the First Enlargement

The program chairs invite proposals for a converence devoted to the European Union to be held in London 7-8 March 2013. The conference theme is: 40 Years since the First Enlargement. 2013 is the 40th anniversary of the first enlargement of the European Union. To mark the occasion, UACES is organising a conference exploring the evolution of the integration project since the accession of the UK, Denmark and Ireland in 1973. The anniversary provides an opportunity to assess the impact of membership across these states and to advance the understanding of the contemporary conditions of European integration. The conference will involve a mixture of plenary addresses from leading political figures and five panels dedicated to assessing the impact of EU membership from a range of disciplinary perspectives. The deadline for paper proposals is Monday 29 October 2012. Please see the conference website for more information.
