The Institute for European Studies at the University of Toronto, Canada, will host a conference for junior scholars on the Impact of Europeanization on Politics and Policy in Europe. The conference will provide an opportunity for 12 to 15 young academics to present substantial and sophisticated research and discuss important theoretical and empirical questions with colleagues from across North America and Europe.
Keynote Address: Prof. James Caporaso, University of Washington

Larger dimensions of the impact of Europeanization that will be subject of discussion include:

- Changing Policy-making and -output in the countries and regions of Europe
- The Transformation of State-society Relations
- National and Sub-national Institutional Responses to Europeanization and Emerging Norms

The conference will be conducted in a workshop format with all papers distributed to participants well in advance of the conference. All papers will be discussed by both a faculty member and a senior Ph.D. student to maximize constructive feedback. Both senior Ph.D. students and those who have recently completed their doctoral dissertation are invited to submit paper proposals. We are particularly interested in projects that span multiple areas of inquiry, such as comparisons of different policy sectors across countries. We also welcome well-developed theoretical and normative contributions that advance and focus our understanding of empirical phenomena.

The deadline for proposal submissions is January 31, 2004. Please submit an abstract of your paper (350 words), a brief academic curriculum vitae, and complete contact information to
