[ecrea] 2nd Europe in Discourse Conference-CfP

Hellenic American University and the European Public Law Organization

announce the
Call for Papers
for the 2nd International Europe in Discourse Conference AGENDAS OF 
REFORM Athens, 21-23 September 2018

The 1st Europe in Discourse Conference on Identity, Diversity, Borders 
used the lens of discourse analysis to talk about Europe and the 
challenges it faces. The Conference closed with an open commitment for a 
second conference in 2018 with a greater interdisciplinary character.
The 2nd Conference under the Europe in Discourse initiative shifts the 
focus of analysis from challenges to solutions. Britain’s decision to 
leave the European project strengthened disintegrative agendas. The 
pro-European French President, Emmanuel Macron, promises to re-launch 
Europe while German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, speaks about drawing up a 
"common road map" for Europe. Although reform is a common denominator, 
there is no consensus on what that an agenda of reform might look like 
nor how it would be achieved.

Agendas of Reform starts from the conviction that time has come for a 
dialogue between those who talk about Europe and those who “do” Europe. 
For political analysts, historians, economists and policy-makers in 
Brussels, the Conference will be an opportunity to discuss the future of 
Europe in terms of the concepts that have shaped the EU to date, such as 
enlargement, integration, and institutional reform. For communication 
and language analysts, the Conference will be a chance to interact with 
experts from other disciplines and explore the communication 
perspectives of polity building in the European Union. For all of us, it 
will be an opportunity to reflect on what agendas of reform are likely 
to succeed and how the hopes reflected in such agendas can best be 
communicated to the people of Europe.

Conference Themes
The 2nd Europe in Discourse Conference Agendas of Reform invites papers 
from a broad range of fields and perspectives on the following topics:

Values-based Reform, from Enlargement to Legitimization
Completing the EMU
EU Security and Defense
The Franco-German Relationship
The Transatlantic Dimension
The European Union and Islam
Greece and the European Union

Since Agendas of Reform follows the 1st Europe in Discourse Conference, 
contributions on the so-called “poly-crisis” of the EU, the refugee 
crisis and European populism on the right and the left are also welcome.

Presentation Formats and Abstracts
Proposals are welcome as oral communications and themed panels.

papers, each to be delivered within 30 minutes (a 20-minute presentation

Evaluation Process
All abstracts will be blind peer-reviewed and ranked by the Conference 
Scientific Committee. In their review, the Committee will consider the 
degree to which the presentation makes a contribution to the development 
of the discipline, points to future research agendas, or presents 
innovative or interdisciplinary approaches, including novel 
collaborations or syntheses across sub-disciplines or with other related 
disciplines. A proposal may be given higher priority if clearly linked 
to one or more of the conference themes.

Notification
Notification of acceptance of oral communications and panels will be 
sent by May 1st, 2018.
