...enlargement is best conceptualised as a gradual process that begins before, and continues after, the admission of new members to the organisation.

Welcome
Assessing Accession - Central & Eastern Europe in the EU is a collaborative research network (CRN) that aims to bring together researchers, academics, students and practitioners with a specific interest in developing a broader understanding of how the EU's political institutions and policy-making structures have impacted on, and been impacted by, the EU's Central and East European member states.
Assessing Accession 3rd Annual Research Symposium The New Politics of EU Integration: The View From Central and Eastern Europe 21st - 22nd May 2010, Center for European Studies, Bucharest, Romania |
CALL FOR PAPERS NOW CLOSED Assessing Accession is pleased to announce that its 3rd Annual Research Symposium will take place on Friday 21st and Saturday 22nd May 2010. The event will be hosted by the Center for European Studies at the National School of Political Studies and Public Administration in Bucharest, Romania. The symposium wil examine the how CEE states have viewed the recent period of EU institutional and political reform which ended with the coming into force of the Lisbon Treaty. It will also seek to make a projection on how post-Lisbon EU politics will be configured and what role the CEE states will play. The symposium builds on the previous events held at Glasgow University, UK (2008) and Széchenyi István University in Győr, Hungary (2009). It will bring together a range of academic researchers, political practitioners and commentators to provide a nuanced and detailed account of CEE in a post-Lisbon Europe. The event is organised by the Department of Central and East European Studies at the University of Glasgow and the Center for European Studies at the National School of Political Studies and Public Administration in Bucharest. The event is made possible thanks to the generosity of the host institute and Assessing Accession sponsors UACES, BASEES and CRCEES. The deadline for paper abstracts has now passed.
