Is There a European Model of Governance? International Political Science Association
The International Political Science Association (IPSA) is proud to
co-host its latest international conference with the newly formed
Luxembourg Political Science Association (Luxpol) and the European
Governance program at the University of Luxembourg. The title of the
bilingual conference is “Is There a European Model of Governance?” and
the general theme is European Governance. This conference will take
place from March 18 to 20, 2010, and will attempt to answer the
question:
Is There a European Model of Governance? A Comparative Perspective
European integration has led to the ongoing building of an original
model of governance that needs to be assessed and compared with other
regional integrations; the impact of European integration on member
states and neighboring countries (regarding public policies, law-making
processes, political institutions and actors in general) calls for
comparative research; triggered by or independent from European
integration, new forms of governance (including political
participation, delegation, decision-making, evaluation) that emerged in
European countries also need to be studied; finally, the building of an
original European model of governance may call into question
theoretical and methodological approaches usually adopted in political
science research.
Program co-Chairs: Wyn Grant (University of Warwick) and Daniel Tarschys (University of Stockholm).
Local Organizers: Philippe Poirier (University of Luxembourg) and Patrick Dumont (University of Luxembourg)
A total of twelve panels will be organized in English and French
around the general theme of the conference. Each panel will consist of
a maximum of six panellists, in addition to two co-Chairs, from
different universities or institutions, who will also act as
rapporteurs.
The European Governance program at the University of Luxembourg is responsible for the co-organization of the following six panels:
- European, National and Regional Parliaments and EU Law-making
- EU Enlargement and its Social and Political Consequences for the New Member States and candidate countries
- Institutional Systems Theory: Theoretical Perspectives
- A Critical Look at Europe’s Human Rights Regime: Lessons from Other World Regions
- (E-)deliberative model of European governance in a Comparative Perspective
- The Renewal of Research on Europeanization Processes: Interdisciplinary Perspective
Six other selected panels (see Call for Panel Proposals) will be posted on luxembourg2010.org as of Thursday, October 1, 2009.
Scholars and researchers are invited to submit paper proposals
(abstracts) in English or French for all twelve panels (including those
overseen by the University of Luxembourg).
The deadline for proposal submissions is Sunday, November 15, 2009. Submissions will only be accepted online at luxembourg2010.org. Late submissions will not be considered.
