Nashville, Tennessee Hilton Suites Nashville Downtown
The European
Union Studies Association invites scholars and practitioners engaged in the
study of Europe and the European Union to submit panel and paper proposals for
its 2003 Eighth Biennial International Conference. The Program Committee plans
to promote the broadest possible exchange of
theoretical approaches,
disciplinary perspectives and research agendas. The Committee actively seeks
proposals that analyze the EU in comparative perspective, explore the
relationship between EU and national politics/policy, or assess the role played
by the EU in global politics. The Committee welcomes proposals in anthropology,
business, economics, government, law, modern history, politics, sociology, and
other fields that investigate aspects of European integration. Participation by
graduate students and non-traditional scholars is welcomed. Please note the
following:
- We welcome both paper and panel proposals, particularly those
that foster transatlantic dialogue.
- The Program Committee reserves the
right to make changes in panels, including their composition.
- All those
appearing on the conference program must be current EUSA members.
-
Participants are limited to two appearances on the conference program (two
papers or one paper and one discussant role; chair roles do not count toward the
appearance limit).
- We cannot honor individual scheduling requests; by
submitting a proposal you agree to be available from 8:30 a.m. on Thursday,
March 27th through 6:00 p.m. on Saturday, March 29th.

Committee is:
John Keeler (Political Science, University of Washington
Seattle), Chair
Karen Alter (Political Science, Northwestern University, and

Program Committees decision regarding your proposal by December 15, 2002. We
