Workshop:
Fading nation-states? The impact of European integration on Central and Eastern
Europe
Krakow, 18-19
March 2011
Rationales:
Six years after the
‘Big Bang’ enlargement of the European Union new questions are
emerging in the social sciences which deal with assessing the effects of
enlargement on the member states and the structure and way of functioning of
the EU. One of the major, overarching questions is the transformation of
stateness and the future of the nation-state in the region of Central and
Eastern Europe. A vast amount of literature on European integration is
questioning the possibility of nation-states in Europe functioning in an
unchanged form, particularly their autonomy and problem-solving capabilities.
This debate is not given sufficient attention in CEE countries, where
the move towards European integration was perceived as a way to reestablish
sovereignty and independence and to reconstitute as liberal-democratic
nation-states. The major aim of the workshop is to investigate
how the new member states seek to consolidate as nation-states in relation to
European integration and how state autonomy is at the same time challenged by
European integration.
Contributions are
encouraged related to the following broad topics:
