European International Relations Summer School

EIRSS 2010 will take place in Tübingen from 26 July to 6 August. This year's theme is "Conflicts in Europe - Europe in Conflicts"

With the 2004/7 enlargement, conflicts have become a prominent theme in European Union policy and academic debates. Indeed, enlargement was justified to a great extent by presenting it as a solution to the revival of ethnic conflicts in Central and Eastern Europe. At the same time, the EU has become engaged in conflicts outside its own territory both through foreign policy means as a “normative power” and through military means in the form of a number of EU missions, from the Kosovo to the Congo. The EIRSS 2010 provides a forum for doctoral students to review the state of the art in conflict analysis and the debate about conflicts in Europe, the effect of European integration on conflict, and the impact of EU actions in conflicts beyond EU borders.
