This year marks the 60th anniversary of the Schuman Declaration that called for greater cooperation between European states and from which was born the European Coal and Steel Community, the fore-runner of today’s European Union. Since then, European Integration has changed face dramatically. From six original members focused on sharing control of Europe’s Coal and Steel industries it has grown into the European Union, which now boasts a membership of 27 Member States; undertakes monetary policy for the Eurozone; influences social and human rights policy; and provides a framework for European constitutional and criminal laws. The Lisbon Treaty is again reworking European Integration, with new roles and responsibilities for the EU, its institutions and citizens. How will this impact on Europe? How will this impact on the rest of the World?
This is a multidisciplinary conference to investigate the past changes and future challenges faced by European Integration, as well as the impact and reaction to these changes within the Asia Pacific. |
