3. Call for papers: Paper Series “20 years of EU Membership” 

Maltański Institute for European Studies zaprasza do przesyłania tekstów do publikacji pt. “20 years of EU Membership”. 

Teksty mogą jednego z trzech tematów:

• Papers assessing the impact of EU accession from the perspectives of countries that joined in 2004, either on individual countries or in a comparative setting. Are Europeanisation processes still in place, and in what areas of politics and policy making is the EU’s impact more (and/or less) evident? How does national public opinion feel about the European Union, and how has this changed over time? Are there emerging differences between older and newer members, or are such differences declining over time?
• Papers assessing the impact of the 2004 enlargement on the EU. What have the effects been, under a normative, political and/or economical perspective? The recent “battles” with Hungary and Poland about rule of law, the Visegrad group’s unwillingness to implement refugee quotas during the 2015 refugee crisis and the move of the European Commission against Cyprus and Malta for the citizenship by investment programmes are a few examples of tensions between the supranational level and countries which acceded in 2004. 
• Papers focusing specifically on the Maltese membership experience and Malta’s place in the European Union. A central aim of the Institute is to contribute to knowledge on Malta and Malta’s EU experience, therefore papers dealing specifically with Malta are welcomed.

Zgłoszenia (abstrakt do 300 słów wraz z krótką notką biograficzną) należy przesyłać do 23 września.
