Call for Papers

"Rethinking European Spaces: Territory, Borders, Governance"
Interdisciplinary Conference
Royal Holloway, University of London
London (UK)
21-22 April 2005

The conference will examine the spatial dynamics of contemporary
Europe,
particularly the development of non- and trans- national spaces,
the
changing nature of European borders, and emergent forms of
spatial
governance, particularly those associated with cities,
trans-border
regions, pan-European networks, territorial cohesion, and
polycentric
development.

I am particularly interested to receive proposals for papers
which
examine the connection between spaces, borders and governance and
the
complex dynamics of Europeanization to which they give rise.

Abstracts should be submitted by 31 January 2005.

Plenary speakers include:
Barrie Axford (Oxford Brookes), Olivier Thomas Kramsch
(Nijmegen),
Ulrike H. Meinhof (Southampton), Martin Lawn (Edinburgh), Tim
Richardson
(Sheffield).
