It builds on the very successful general 1st WISH/RIJC held in 2002 and the equally successful, more specific 2nd WISH/RIJC held in 2003. It seeks to bring together the most promising young scholars concerned with the subject from universities of the EU Member States including the new Member States, countries that are candidates for later EU membership, countries of the Mediterranean basin and other countries such as China, the United States and elsewhere. The Workshop is designed to offer the participants an opportunity to present their best research work in a professional academic setting to an audience of other young scholars and more senior scholars. It also is intended to provide a means by which their work can be published either in the form of an article or in an edited book destined for an international readership. The Workshop, one of the first of its kind in Europe, is oriented primarily towards research currently being carried out by advanced doctoral students. Proposals are welcome on any aspect of the subject. Examples of relevant topics include: · The political, economic and social constitution of the EU · Legal culture · Human rights · Values and religion · Free movement of persons · EC policies, e.g. environment, agricultural policy, regions, EMU · State aids · Asylum and immigration · Access to documents · Differentiation and closer cooperation · New forms of governance, e.g. agencies, open method of coordination, role of social partners · Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) · EU external economic relations · EU defence policy · EU in the Mediterranean region · Police and Judicial Cooperation in Criminal Matters, for example terrorism or organised crime · The Schengen system · Border control · The new frontiers of the EU · Comparative studies of effects of pre-enlargement preparation on post-accession policies · Political participation and European integration These are illustrative examples of relevant topics, not an exhaustive list. Proposals dealing with other aspects of enlargement and the new Europe after 2004 are welcome. If you are interested in submitting a proposal, please bear in mind that the Workshop is designed to identify and explore some of the principal features of the New Europe after 2004. Among the main topics are the impact of enlargement on the European Union as a whole, the impact of preparations for enlargement and of accession on the new Member States, and the ways in which enlargement is likely to shape the EU in the future. These topics embrace constitutionalism and the EU constitution, the Common Foreign and Security Policy and Police and Judicial Cooperation in Criminal Matters. We welcome especially papers putting forward the perspective of the new Member States. Comparative papers will be preferred to those dealing with a single country. The Workshop will take place over one and a half days. It will comprise six panels (two per half-day). Each panel will include approximately three presentations by young scholars. Another young scholar will serve as discussant. Each panel will be chaired by a senior scholar. Ample time will be left for discussion. The working languages are English and French. The costs of travel and accommodation (up to 2 nights hotel: Friday, Saturday) of paper-givers and discussants will be covered by the organisers. Further information will be provided in due course to those whose proposals are accepted.
