Papers
French Critical Theory and the Culture Wars of the U.S.
This paper unpacks the cross-pollination of French critical theory with the culture wars of the U.S.—a seminal time in the U.S., post-1968, after which the embattled Left retreat into academia.
Colin Thubron’s Journey into Cyprus and the Literary Depiction of Cyprus as a Non-European Country
Throughout his travelogue Journey into Cyprus (1975) Colin Thubron insisted on the negation of a pro-European feeling for Cyprus. After crisscrossing the island in 1972, he presented Cyprus as a conglomerate of cultures and civilizations.
Narrating Europe from the Outside – The Double Peripheral Perspective in Abraham B. Yehoshua’s Novel Five Seasons
In my paper I will exemplify this complexity based on the novel Five Seasons (Molcho) by Abraham B. Yehoshua. The reading of Molcho’s voyages to Europe and his struggle with “European culture” in Israel will enable me to analyze Molcho’s perception of Europe.![Europe as Viewed from Asia [Pakistan] in the Poetry of Perveen Shakir (1952-1994)](http://euroacademia.eu/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/IMG_7715.jpg)
Europe as Viewed from Asia [Pakistan] in the Poetry of Perveen Shakir (1952-1994)
This explores Bhabha’s postcolonial theory of Hybridity (1994) where he says diverse cultures when meeting deconstruct, what Said calls binaries of colonial discourses (1978;1993).
The Role of the EU in Setting Global Rules
The paper analyzes the role of the EU in agenda and rule setting in international organizations which are designed to address global social and economic challenges. It also touches upon issues related to cooperation between the member-states with the EU which might precede its performance on the global arena.
Eclipsing Atlantis: Economic Ideas of Trans-Atlantic Multilateralism in Monetary Affairs and Trade and the Genesis of European Integration (1942-1950)
Central to the paper is the search for the economic ideas that have been dominant in this process of institution building. The paper is based on both archival research (focused on multilateral negotiations), and in-depth assessment of the ‘battle of economic ideas’ that fuelled the feverish testing of institutional arrangements for trans-Atlantic and European cooperation in the laboratory of western multilateralism during the 1940s.
Redefining the Meaning of Public Sphere: Leaders, Citizens, States
Abstract: Believing in the European Vision is more than an imperative necessity. More than ever we should bring attention to the meaning of cooperation and the importance of leaders. To improve the rationality of public decisions we should put again in the middle of the discussion the role of the leaders and their responsibility to their citizens. So, one of the most important questions in our days is the meaning of Europe and how Europe can resist to the growing phenomenon of crisis in many countries of its entity. The main problem is the way that those countries understan
Democratic Legitimacy in the Era of Fiscal Integration
While several countries still struggle to return to sustainable growth and Euroscepticism has shown its strength during the 2014 European Elections, Europe is slowly advancing on the path of fiscal integration. This paper reassesses how legitimacy is provided when economic policy coordination becomes a central priority and why the ensuing fiscal integration constitutes a “genetic change” for the Union.
The Institutional Balance: A Phantom Concept of EU Constitutional Law
Our argument is that, in its current state, the concept of institutional balance serves both reactive and transformative functions within the EU law. It emphasises the necessity to periodically check and adjust the power distribution architecture in response to new challenges of the EU evolution process.
From Crisis to Prosperity: Paving the Way to the Future of Europe
By opening the discussion and inviting all participants to add their views on the elements of subtle changes needed to harmonize and strengthen Europe.
