Information About the April Workshop

The European Union is widely recognized as one of the most novel and innovative systems of governance in the world today. This workshop brings together a group of leading international scholars to explore the proposition that beneath the apparent multiplicity of governance arrangements across the EU, a new experimentalist architecture is emerging, based on the establishment and regular revision of European framework rules in light of practical experience with their implementation in diverse national and local settings.

Building on and responding to a synthetic overview paper by the project organizers Charles F. Sabel (Columbia Law School) and Jonathan Zeitlin (University of Wisconsin-Madison), "Learning from Difference: The New Architecture of Experimentalist Governance in the European Union", the papers presented at this workshop will examine the evolving pattern of EU governance across a wide range of policy sectors, including environmental protection, data privacy, financial market regulation, anti-discrimination rights, justice and home affairs, energy, food safety, GMOs, economic policy coordination, external relations and development aid.

Speakers:
Iain Begg (London School of Economics)
Patrycja Dabrowska (University of Warsaw)
Burkard Eberlein (York University, Canada)
Ingmar von Homeyer (ECOLOGIC/Institute for International
and European Environmental Studies, Berlin)
Jörg Monar (Universities of Sussex and Strasbourg)
Abraham Newman (Georgetown University)
Elliot Posner (George Washington University)
Elsa Tulmets (Institute of International Relations, Prague)
Ellen Vos (University of Maastricht)
