Our working group seeks to provide a platform for exchange on the study of phenomena related to European politics broadly understood, including work on European integration, EU external relations, Europe’s role in the world, but also studies of polities, policies, and politics within and across European countries. Importantly, we value diversity and are open to different epistemological and methodological approaches as well as interdisciplinary work. Young researchers are explicitly encouraged to join our sessions at the annual convention.
We are also active in the Swiss European Communities Studies Association (ECSA), a multi-disciplinary research association in European studies (i.e., political science, law, sociology, history, philosophy, or economics) and work towards fruitful synergies between the two associations.
