In addition to the topics related to the specific theme of a summer school in that particular year, it offers thematic courses, such as Methodology and Theories of IR. It also arranges interdisciplinary courses with adjacent disciplines and seeks to combine theoretical approaches with practical applications. The Jena-Prague 2002 Summer School, focussing on the implications of the EU's enlargement with a special emphasis on East-Central Europe, will take place in Jena (15-27 July 2002) with a sojourn in Prague (22-24 July) A primary goal is to involve doctoral students and academic teachers both from Eastern and Western Europe. The 2002 summer school is supported by grants from the European Consortium for Political Research (ECPR), the Standing Group on IR of the ECPR, and the Volkswagen Foundation (for the East European participants and the course in Prague). Four thematic courses will be offered: 1. Methodologies and Theory of IR (Course directors: Prof. Dr. O. Apunen, University of Tampere and Ass. Prof. Dr. U.
