[ecrea] Europe in Discourse: Agendas of Reform, call for papers

The 2nd International Europe in Discourse Conference AGENDAS OF REFORM 
Athens, 21-23 September 2018

Call for Papers Extended

We would like to announce that the Call for Papers for the 2nd 
International Europe in Discourse Conference "Agendas of Reform" has 
been extended. We invite you to submit your abstracts by May 25th 2018 
using the guidelines mentioned in the Call.


Agendas of Reform starts from the conviction that the 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

contributions on the so-called "poly-crisis" of the EU, the refugee 
crisis and the right and the left varieties of European populism are 
also welcome.

We also accept papers on the following topics:

Historical, geo-cultural, geo-economic and geopolitical aspects of 
European identities Europe: super-diverse and globalized Images of 
crisis and recovery in Europe

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 of acceptance of oral communications and panels will be 
sent by June 15th, 2018.
