Council for European Studies
Seventeenth International Conference
Montreal, Canada
April 15-17, 2010
Call for Papers
Please note the approaching deadline of October 15, 2009

A recent crisis of confidence has unsettled paradigms for economic,
social and political governance: political identities, social
allegiances, parameters of markets, cultural truisms, and religious
truths are all in flux. Europe has long served as a model for the rest
of the world - whether as object of admiration, forced exemplar, foil,
or cautionary tale - and the present vacuum of certainty presents yet
another moment of opportunity for scholars of "the old world." Are
European experiments in economic coordination the solution to the
excesses of unregulated capitalism -- is this the moment for the
revenge of the
European model?
For the 2010 conference, the Council for European Studies (CES)
welcomes proposals for panels, roundtables, book discussions and
individual papers on the study of Europe broadly defined. This year,
for the first time, we are also entertaining the submission of panel
clusters around a theme, giving participants the opportunity to create
a mini-symposium within the conference (please no more than 5 panels
per theme). Each panel proposal will be reviewed individually by the
Program Committee, and each panel belonging to a cluster will be
acknowledged as such in the conference program.
We encourage proposals in the widest range of disciplines; in
particular, we welcome panels that combine disciplines, nationalities,
and generations. The Committee will accept only two submissions per
person. Members may also participate in a maximum of two sessions.
The Council for European Studies fosters and recognizes outstanding,
multidisciplinary research in European studies through a range of
programs, including conferences, publications, special events, and
awards. The Council´s international conferences bring together
scholars from a multitude of countries and a variety of fields for
discussion and interdisciplinary exchange.
Proposals may be submitted from August 1 to October 15, 2009 via the URL:

More information on the conference will be available in upcoming issues of the CES newsletter. You may subscribe to the newsletter here: www.ces.columbia.edu/members/indiv_members.html
Participants will be notified of the Committee's decisions by December 1, 2009.
Scholars who are Spanish citizens whose work focuses on Europe are
invited to apply for travel grants to attend the 17th CES Conference.
The grants are generously offered by the Spanish "Centro de
Investigaciones Sociológicas."

CES has partnered with IASGP for the 2010 Conference.
Created in 2007 as the result of a merger between the Association for
the Study of German Politics and the US German Politics Association,
the IASGP brings together leading international scholars of German
politics, society, law and political economy. This unique academic
study group, which is open to academic staff and advanced graduate
students, fosters active research collaboration and exchange, hosts
specialist workshops and conferences at regular intervals as well as
promoting a major stream of panels at international conferences.
Since its launch in 1992, German Politics has established itself as
the leading international journal in its field. Its mission is to
provide theoretically informed perspectives on the changing agendas of
German Politics. It engages with themes that connect Germany
comparatively with other states - the challenges of globalisation,
changes in international relations, and the widening and deepening of
the European Union. It also links work on Germany to wider debates and
issues in comparative politics, public policy, political behaviour,
and political theory.
