Deadline: "Economic, Political and Social Crisis in the EU: Challenges and Opportunities”

26/03/2012

It is our great pleasure to invite you to take part in the international conference

"Economic, Political and Social Crisis in the EU: Challenges and Opportunities”

organized by Baltic International Academy and its programme "European Studies”.

The conference will discuss the topical issues of the ongoing crises in Europe, their consequences and possible re-invention of policies and economy. Conference offers a unique opportunity for academic world to exchange views in an open and stimulating environment.

Both in Europe and in Latvia the economic and financial crisis has been deep and the recovery is acknowledged to be slow. Latvia was confronted with the need of fiscal consolidation during the crises as one of the first member states in the EU and many of other states had to do the same. Global competitiveness has been eroded in major nations and the Euro has been weakened. There is an overall need to restore discipline and confidence on the way of further integration of the EU and its enlargement.

Many European policies appear to need a 're-invention': the EU strategy " Europe 2020”, financial discipline, the EU Economic Union, the EU’s role as a global player in the world. Participants of the conference are invited to discuss a wide range of current issues: Europe’s response to the global crisis, the need for a more social European Union, market integration and competition policy, energy security, the possibility for the EU to achieve a high-profile foreign policy, Europe’s identity, European enlargement visions, ongoing problems of democratic legitimization and a role of governments, institutions and investors in the context of the EU integration.

Looking forward to receive your proposals (ca. 15 minutes + panel discussion including participants of the whole panel).

The conference will take place on Friday, April 27, 2012 at 10.00 am.

Venue: European Information Center / room 207, Baltic International Academy, Lomonosova 1, Riga.
