40 Years since the First Enlargement


Call for papers deadline – 29 October 2012
Venue – Woburn House, London, 7-8 March 2013

2013 is the 40th anniversary of the first enlargement of the European
Union. To mark the occasion, UACES is organising a conference
exploring the evolution of the integration project since the accession
of the UK, Denmark and Ireland in 1973. The anniversary provides an
opportunity to assess the impact of membership across these states and
to advance the understanding of the contemporary conditions of
European integration. The conference will involve a mixture of plenary
addresses from leading political figures and five panels dedicated to
assessing the impact of EU membership from a range of disciplinary
perspectives.

We invite proposals for papers which are focused on any of these areas:

Panel 1: ’The First Enlargement: Good for the EU, Good
for the Acceding States?’
Panel 2: ‘The Impact on Domestic Politics, Society and Media’
Panel 3: ‘The Economic Impact of Accession’
Panel 4: ‘A Changed Legal Order?’
Panel 5: ‘A Reformed Public Administration?’

To submit a paper proposal send your 250-word abstract as a word
document to admin@uaces. org. Please indicate ONE panel into which your
paper fits. The deadline for paper proposals is Monday 29 October
2012. Find out more: www.uaces.org/ forty

This conference is being organised with the support of the Lifelong
Learning Programme of the European Union.
