Europe in the World
The ‘Europe in the world’ research area ties the study of European and EU external relations, power, strategy, actors, institutions and ideational compositions with changes and challenges in global politics. We scrutinise primarily (i) the national and European levels, questioning what Europe stands for both through the lens of political elites but also the public, (ii) the inter-regional level, situating Europe in the world, comparing it to other regional experiences, (iii) the global level, disentangling global, international and transnational influences coming from the world to Europe and vice versa and (iv) how these different levels are interconnected.
Scholars working in this research area seek to integrate theoretical and conceptual insights from a wide range of perspectives in international relations, political science, sociology, history, regional area studies, and international law, with politically relevant empirical analysis. They contribute to the theoretical and political debates on European and international affairs, questions about a changing global or international order, and how unified and autonomous the European voice really is. They engage with key areas of European external affairs and addresses some of the big questions confronting Europe and the EU in the decades ahead.
- Europe’s self-understanding and ideational foundation(s)
- Europe’s ongoing organisational and power entanglements across regions, individual countries and actors
- The evolution and challenges of EU foreign, security, and defence policies, including questions of purpose, strategy and organisational forms
- Intersecting policy domains and how they impact and are impacted by the EU
The ‘Europe in the World’ research area’s vision is to bring together early-career and established scholars and practitioners in the field, both from within and outside the European University Institute, and to generate cutting-edge, innovative and widely-read research through its workshops, conferences, research, seminars, and publications.
