Highlights:

•The arguments used to build trust for mega stables resulted in distrust.

 

•Gaining trust for mega stables needs more than public gatherings or research.

 

•Mega stables are more beneficial from the national than from the local perspective.

 

•Trust starts with analyzing configurations, reflection, and critical outsiders.

Call for Proposals

20th International Conference of Europeanists

June 25-27, 2013 • Amsterdam, The Netherlands 

        The current economic crisis of debt, the euro, and unemployment takes place in a framework of highly dynamic creative and destructive processes: globalization, heightened nationalisms, continued migration, shifting cultures, rising inequality, security concerns, climate change, sustainable development, etc. All of these things are transforming definitions of Europe (of its geographical boundaries, core institutions and policies, etc.) and the intellectual challenge of grappling with these changes provides the foundations for the 20th International Conference of Europeanists, scheduled to take place in Amsterdam from June 25-27, 2013.

        Thus, the Council for European Studies now invites proposals for panels, roundtables, books discussions, mini-symposia, and individual papers. Proposals may be submitted between August 15 and October 8, 2012. Click here to read the full Call for Proposals or download a flyer with the Call.
