SUMMARY:Summer School – Simulating EU-decision making
DESCRIPTION:Organizers:\n• Friedrich Plank\, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz\n• Arne Niemann\, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz\n• Michèle Knodt\, Technical University of Darmstadt \nVenue:\nJohannes Gutenberg University Mainz\, Jakob Welder Weg 12\, 55128 Mainz\, Germany \nProgram highlights:\n• Simulating EU-decision-making in the European Parliament and Council of the EU in an international setting\n• Focus on EU migration policies and the EU´s fight against climate change\n• Social and network program in Mainz \nProgram at a glance:\nIn this summer school\, participants simulated European Union (EU) decision-making in Model European Union Mainz (MEUM). Around 80 participants from all over the world came to Mainz\, Germany\, for the simulation of the ordinary legislative procedure. Participants slipped into the roles of national Ministers\, Members of the European Parliament and journalists. The Summer School offered the chance to get a first-hand insight into the workings of the complex political system that is the European Union. Starting point for the debate were two proposals that relate to EU migration policies and the EU´s fight against climate change for legislation drafted by the European Commission. Participants\, in their roles as MEPs and Ministers\, delivered speeches\, work on amendments to the proposal texts\, and organize majorities in order to adopt their suggestions for changes to the legislation\, while journalists monitored and critically reported on this political process.\nThe Summer School targeted primarily early career researchers but welcomed also experienced analysts and practitioners interested in EU decision-making processes. \nFull Agenda \nCall for Participation

SUMMARY:Workshop organized by COST Action ENTER Working Group 2 (Perception and Communication)\, and Working Group 4 (Relations)
DESCRIPTION:Convenors: Michèle Knodt and Patrick Müller \nEU foreign policy is often studied and explained from within\, focusing on intra-EU institutions\, actors and preferences. However\, in a changing international environment EU foreign policy is also increasingly subject to external influences\, stimuli and pressures. The EU’s multi-actor\, multi-level system of governance provides various access points to engage with\, and influence EU foreign policy from the outside. Simultaneously\, the EU faces important internal challenges to its normative and political cohesion\, including the rise of populist\, right-wing and Eurosceptic movements. In this respect\, Orenstein and Kelemen (2017) applied the phrase of cultivation of Trojan Horses among EU member states by external actors like Russia. Similarly\, Smith points to “a kind of ‘second image reversed’ process of internalisation of external challenges or pressures\, in which the positions and preferences of actors external to the EU and its Member States can infiltrate the process of policy-making” (Smith 2021: 639). At the same time\, the fact that individual EU member states participate in multiple frameworks for regional cooperation\, including China’s 17+1 initiative\, raises questions about implications for EU foreign policy cohesion. Obviously there is significant external influence on the political system of the EU that can endanger the cohesion in the EU’s common foreign policy. In this context\, cohesion can be understood both in the sense of willingness for joint activities in the field of external policy as well as in the sense of a common European interest and normative identity. \nIn times of decreasing multilateralism and growing nationalisms the EU’s cohesion in the foreign and security policy is immanently important on the international level for European states. In both academic and public discussions this topic is astonishingly under-reflected. Thus the overall goal of the contributions to the workshop is to discuss and evaluate systematically external influences on the EU\, its effects as well as to develop potential strategy how to deal with these influences. \nContributions may focus on: \n\nWho are the addressees of the external influence by third states – member states\, EU institutions\, European and national political parties\, social movements\, think tanks?\nWhat is the target of the influence of third states – EU norms\, narratives\, policy\, politics\, coherence\, unity\, strategies?\nHow do third states perceive the potential for influencing the EU and how does the EU/how do people in the EU perceive the level of influence – perceptions of national/European elites\, experts\, civil society\, the broad public\, images\, narratives?\nWhat pathways and mechanisms of influencing can be identified\, e.g. public diplomacy\, communication strategies\, political and economic pressure?\nWhat are appropriate measures to promote the cohesion within the EU – counter-diplomacy\, regulative\, investment\, new narrative?\n\nPlease send your paper to: Michèle Knodt (knodt@pg.tu-darmstadt.de) and Patrick Müller (patrick.mueller@da-vienna.ac.at). The deadline for paper submissions is December 20\, 2021. \n  \nClick here for the pdf-version.

SUMMARY:Norm contestation and EU foreign policy
DESCRIPTION:Workshop organized by Working Group 3 – Contestation\, and Working Group 4 – Relations \nConvenors: Helene Sjursen\, Ana E. Juncos\, Patrick Müller\, Oriol Costa \nThe study of norms in EU foreign policy is a well-established subfield in the broader European Studies literature\, with previous work focusing both on its internal dimension (foreign policy negotiations and socialisation studies) and its external implications (in particular\, the Normative Power Europe debate). There is also increasing evidence that current contestation at the domestic\, European and global level has also extended to the domain of norms. Driven by the emergence of a new political cleavage centred around issues of identity\, one that sets in opposition cosmopolitans and communitarians (De Wilde et al.\, 2019)\, liberal norms\, traditionally at the centre of EU foreign policy\, are now the target of contestation. Liberal norms have been contested domestically with the arrival of populist parties and challenger governments (Falkner and Plattner\, 2019; Hodson and Puetter\, 2019) and at the global level with the rise of illiberal powers (Ikenberry\, 2018) and increasing geopolitical competition. However\, we still know very little about how these developments have impacted procedural and substantive norms in European Foreign Policy and the EU’s ability to promote those within and beyond its borders. \nFor its part\, recent literature on normative theorising in IR has sought to better understand how norm contestation occurs both during the processes of norm development and norm diffusion and how it affects norm robustness/erosion over time (Deitelhoff and Zimmermann\, 2019; Wiener\, 2014). This research has also highlighted struggles relating to norm contestation (e.g. in terms of validity or the application of the norm) and the translation of those norms to local realities\, with an increasing attention to processes of localisation\, translation\, resistance\, and antipreneurship (Acharya\, 2004; Bloomfield and Scott\, 2017; Deitelhoff and Zimmermann\, 2013; Zimmermann\, 2016). Yet\, with a few exceptions\, these research insights have yet to be applied to EU foreign policy-making and its implementation. This workshop seeks to foster further research and empirical testing of the implications of norm contestation in EU foreign policy both in relation to intra-EU politics and its extraterritorial application and in relation to a wide range of norms. \nWe will meet on the 14th and 15th of October online (barring a major improvement of the health conditions) to discuss contributions and potential projects going forward\, including a possible special issue or symposium/forum. We invite 200 word abstracts plus short biographical notes by May 15th\, acceptance will be communicated on the 1st of June. Papers should be circulated by October 1st. Please send your proposals to the following email addresses: oriol.costa@uab.cat and patrick.mueller@da-vienna.ac.at. \nClick here for the pdf-version.

SUMMARY:Partnerships in Crisis: The European Union’s Strategic Partnerships in a Turbulent World Arena
DESCRIPTION:Webtalk organized by Working Group 4 – Relations \nConvenors: Michael Smith\, Laura Ferreira-Pereira\, Andrew Cottey \nThis virtual round table is presented by Working Group 4 of the ENTER project\, which is focused on changes and challenges in the EU’s key global relationships. Its starting point is the network of strategic partnerships established by the EU in the first fifteen years of the 21st century\, which is often seen as one of the EU’s claims to global engagement and leverage. Despite the more or less formal agreements between the EU and its major international interlocutors\, the evidence that this gives the EU global reach and diplomatic clout is patchy\, and many of the key partnerships have been thrown into doubt by the development of successive international crises – most recently\, those relating to the COVID pandemic and the retreat from Afghanistan. Contributors will focus on key EU strategic partnerships\, including those with the United States\, Brazil and China\, and where appropriate on the broader nature of the EU’s strategic diplomacy. The discussion will draw upon work conducted for a recent volume: Laura C. Ferreira-Pereira and Michael Smith (eds) The European Union’s Strategic Partnerships: global diplomacy in a contested world. Palgrave Macmillan\, 2021. \nPlease register online at: info@foreignpolicynewrealities.eu \nClick here for the official flyer:

SUMMARY:Marriage of Convenience or Love Match? Right-wing Populist Relations between Israel and Europe
DESCRIPTION:Webtalk at Schader Foundation organized by Working Group 2 – Perception and Communication \nConvenors: Michèle Knodt\, Sharon Pardo\, Veith Selk \nAnti-Semitic and Israelophobic tendencies within right-wing populism are often the subject of critical reporting in Germany. In particular\, Viktor Orbán’s campaign loaded with anti-Semitic connotations against George Soros has been followed closely in Germany. However\, the message sent by former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from Jerusalem to Brussels in February 2019\, during a visit by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán to Israel\, was hardly noticed. He explained that there is a strong connection between Israel and Orbán’s Hungary\, based on the “many things” that these two countries have shared\, both in the past and in the present. According to Netanyahu\, Israel and Hungary are “both small nations\, democracies that share common values and interests”. Is there a tradition of right-wing populism in Israel that Netanyahu was drawing on with his statement? Is the partnership between Netanyahu’s Israel and Orbán’s Hungary characteristic of a change that Israel has undergone? And what calculations\, core convictions and contradictions underlie the positions of European right-wing populists towards Israel? In cooperation with the Technical University Darmstadt and under the leadership of Prof. Dr. Michèle Knodt\, the Schader Foundation will address this topic in a public evening event that will take place digitally. It is part of the COST Action ENTER Week. \nPlease register via e-mail by 3 October 2021 at: kontakt@schader-stiftung.de \nClick here for the official flyer:

SUMMARY:External Perceptions of the EU as Times of Global Crises: Continuity and Change?
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Panel organized and held by Working Group 2 – Perception and Communication \nConvenors: Organized and led by Natalia Chaban\, co-led by Michele Knodt\, Sonia Lucarelli\, Ole Elgström and Karine Lisbonne de Vergeron \nContributors: Andrea Ribeiro Hoffman\, Paula Sandrin\, Eric Tremolada\, Andrea Quiroga\, Roberto Dominguez\, Pauline Heinrichs\, Babak Bahador\, Toni Haastrup\, John Kotsopulous\, Karine Lisbonne de Vergeron\, Michito Tsuruoka\, Paramitaningrum\, Elena Ananieva\, Thomas Christiansen\, Iana Sabatovych\, Natalia Chaban\, Elizabete Vizgunova-Vikmane\, Kateryna Pryshchepa \nThe Virtual Panel “External perceptions of the EU as times of global crises: Continuity and Change?” tracks and maps the perceptions of the EU in 13 key global partners. It contributes to the debate on the EU’s actorness and its global recognition\, discusses the EU’s perceived effectiveness and normative identity\, and dissects expectations-perceptions gaps at times of global uncertainty and crises. The panel examines how key global partners see the match between the EU’s words and deeds and whether they recognise the EU as following its principles consistently. Discovered patterns in continuity and change of perceptions add to the debate about the EU as a global actor and on how it may engage with a more comprehensive and strategic approach in its external actions\, including effective and innovative public diplomacy. \nThe panel discusses external perceptions of the EU following the logic of the geo-political regions and features research collaborations across the borders.  Case Latin America compares perceptions of the EU in Brazil\, Colombia and Mexico (developed and presented by Andrea Ribeiro Hoffman\, Paula Sandrin\, Eric Tremolada\, Andrea Quiroga and Roberto Dominguez). Case North America compares views on the EU in the US and Canada (delivered by Pauline Heinrichs and Babak Bahador). Case Africa compares images of the EU in Nigeria and South Africa (undertaken by Toni Haastrup and John Kotsopulous). Case the Indo-Pacific compares perceptions from India\, Japan and Indonesia (researched by Karine Lisbonne de Vergeron\, Michito Tsuruoka and Paramitaningrum). A comparative case on Russia and China is developed and presented by Elena Ananieva\, Thomas Christiansen\, Iana Sabatovych and Natalia Chaban. A comparative research into public opinion across all 13 countries is undertaken by Elizabete Vizgunova-Vikmane and Kateryna Pryshchepa. \nPlease notice: Registration for this event is closed. \nClick here for the official flyer:

SUMMARY:Glasses into Blinders? Seeing like the EU in a Contested International Order
DESCRIPTION:Webtalk/ Webinar organized and held by Working Group 3 – Contestation \nConvenors: Oriol Costa\, Helene Sjursen (tbc) \nThis webinar takes stock of some of the lessons learned regarding the contestation of EU foreign policy\, and offers a conceptualization of the next steps forward by making the link between this research and norm literature more explicit. More to the point\, the argument is that norms and rules are a key element in “seeing like the EU”\, drawing a parallel with C. Scott’s argument on how states interpret and try to shape an otherwise intractably messy reality. Norms and rules are a way for the EU to understand its relationship with itself and\, more importantly for us\, with the wider world. They sit at the centre of its legibility project. However\, the crisis of the (rules-based) liberal international order is presenting the EU with new dilemmas regarding constitutive\, regulative and procedural norms\, in a way that forces the EU to reconsider some of its choices. Old glasses might turn into blinders. \nPlease register online at: info@foreignpolicynewrealities.eu \nClick here for the official flyer:

The main goal of the volume would be to systematically assess and measure contestation in EU external relations. \nAfter the introductory remarks by the workshop conveners\, the questions that will need to be answered are: \n\nWhat areas contested areas can be mapped?\nWhat areas need to be mapped as priorities?\nWhat is the best analytical framework to use for such a work?\nWhat are some common tools that need to be in our toolbox for researches to be comparable?\nWho is interested from our WG/COST for what areas?\nShould we invite external experts? Who?\nWho could be possible publisher? (Palgrave has a series that would work for us)\n\nPlease register via mail to Sigita Urdze by 3 March.

SUMMARY:De-Europeanization and the EU’s International Relations
DESCRIPTION:The EU Global Strategy states that the EU’s Common Foreign Policy faces considerable challenges\, both from the outside and from within. Externally\, the EU is struggling with a more uncertain US foreign policy\, a more assertive Russia\, and an increasingly unstable and conflict prone neighbourhood. Internally\, the EU is facing Brexit\, challenges to develop a common response towards migration\, as well as the rise of populism and democratic regression in some member states. This workshop invites contributions that explore EU foreign policy in light of these new challenges from a “de-Europeanization perspective”. Whilst scholarship has traditionally focused on “positive” processes of intensified European foreign policy cooperation\, increased institutionalisation and Europeanization\, current developments challenge the assumption that these processes work in a one-directional manner. In times where EU foreign policy is increasingly contested both externally and from within\, it is important to think about the way previous achievements of Europeanization might be challenged\, or even reversed. \nThis COST Action ENTER workshop engages with the emerging debate on de-Europeanization of EU foreign policy\, both at the conceptual and empirical level. De-Europeanization of foreign policy may relate to the dimensions of (identity)\, polity\, policy\, and politics and it is particularly concerned with dynamics that unfold through interactions between the EU and its member states. Contributions may focus on issues such as: \n\nConceptual issues including drivers\, mechanisms\, indicators\, and consequences of de-Europeanization;\nThe relationship between de-Europeanization and intra-EU crises (e.g. Brexit\, financial crisis\, migration crisis).\nThe de-Europeanization of the foreign policies of individual EU member states or groups of member states.\nChanges at the level of EU institutions\, such as dynamics related to the substantive and procedural norms that make up the EU’s foreign policy identity and “culture of cooperation”;\nThe way external actors engage with\, and may contribute to\, de-Europeanization dynamics in EU foreign policy.\nLeadership in EU foreign policy and its relations to (de)Europeanization.\n\nThe workshop will take place on 27 and 28 March 2020 in Vienna. It is organised by Patrick Müller and Karolina Pomorska.

SUMMARY:Contestation and politicization of EU foreign policy: New realities or same old?
DESCRIPTION:Workshop organized by COST Action ENTER EU Foreign Policy Facing New Realities (Working Group 3 – Contestation) \nContestation and politicization are ubiquitous in the fields of International Relations and European Studies. The distinct strands of literature that analyze how international norms and institutions\, globalization\, and European integration are contested have soared. Slower but steadily\, interest has also grown on how this affects EU foreign policy\, since it is situated at the intersection of many of these concerns. Interest in contestation and politicization has increased substantially among EU foreign policy scholars. From TTIP to the Global Compact for Migration\, from the relationship with Russia to climate change\, many issues appear now more open to contention than they used to be. Some of the mechanisms that facilitated agreement among EU Member States seem to be on the verge of collapse\, some previously consensual issues have now become controversial\, and in some specific cases the level of mass engagement and public debate is (nearly) unprecedented. \nNonetheless\, reasonable doubts can be raised as regards the novelty and conceptual clarity of this line of research. The terms contestation and politicization sometimes are used interchangeably\, which in itself should be a source of concern. They can also be used in ways that make them difficult to distinguish from intra-EU disagreement and politics more generally\, which leads to the question of whether this most recent wave of interest in political conflict on EU foreign policy is really onto something new\, or whether this is just old wine in new wineskins. \nThe workshop will address this need for conceptualization and at the same time look at the changing politics of EU foreign policy\, with the aim of making a contribution that helps shape up existing literature. In order to foster a greater degree of consistency in our discussions\, the co-convenors will circulate a concept paper well ahead of the workshop and will invite all participants to speak to (some of) its proposals and questions. We aim to make progress towards a publication project that will further be discussed during the workshop. \nFunding: The workshop is organized by the COST Action ENTER. Participants will be reimbursed through the COST framework for their travel and accommodation expenditures within the scope of COST Rules. \nDeadline for proposals: 16th December 2019  \nHow to apply:  Please send your proposals (250 words abstracts\, and short bio note) to oriol.costa@uab.cat

SUMMARY:Contemporary Challenges in the field of Non-Proliferation/Arms Control Policy and EU Responses
DESCRIPTION:Workshop organized by COST Action ENTER EU Foreign Policy Facing New Realities (Working Group 1 – New Realities) \nThis workshop aims to thorough discussions of the contemporary challenges in the field of non-proliferation and arms control diplomacy. The workshop will thus have sessions on the upcoming NPT review conference and its likely outcome as well as sessions on the state of contemporary arms control\, focusing on what’s up and down after the fate of the ABM and INF treaties\, the Iran deal in tatters\, the North Korea no-deal and the MTCR seriously challenged. How do participants read the situation and how do they see likely developments? \nThe workshop will also have an EU perspective\, not least in terms of analysing the EU’s performance in the field on international non-proliferation policy\, a field in which the EU during the last few decades has engaged ever more and\, at the same time\, continuously experienced the constraints that characterize highly state-centric diplomatic practices. \nFinally\, the workshop will focus on characterizing the strategic environment in which non-proliferation diplomacy is situated. While such diplomacy emerged during the Cold War and developed further in long shadows of Cold War\, perhaps we are now in a completely non-Cold War era\, characterized by a difficult to read US\, a more assertive Russia and an emerging superpower China. \nContributions may focus on analytical challenges such as: \n\nThe series of NPT review conferences\, with a view to the upcoming conference in April/May 2020\nUnderstandings of Non-Proliferation Policy in capitals of aspiring powers (Russia\, China\, India\, Iran\, Japan\, South Korea\, Turkey)\nEEAS understandings of the contemporary situation\, including assessments of options for action\nRelationship between technological development and policy making in the field\nPolicy-making within NATO\n\nPlanned Outcomes: We are particularly interested in submissions that show strong potential for publication. \nFunding: The workshop is organized by the EU-COST Action ENTER. Participants will be reimbursed through the COST framework for their travel and accommodation expenditures within the scope of COST Rules. \nHow to apply:  Please send the following to Knud Erik Jørgensen kej@ps.au.dk by January 8\, 2020: subject line [VIENNANPD]\, title of paper\, abstract of about 150 words\, your full name\, position\, institution\, year you obtained/will obtain your PhD\, email address\, and website. We are looking forward to seeing you in Vienna. \nWorkshop organizers: Heinz Gärtner (the International Institute for Peace IIP)\, Knud Erik Jørgensen (Aarhus University)

SUMMARY:Early Career Workshop - At the EU Doorstep: External Perceptions of the EU by Candidate and Eastern Partnership Countries
DESCRIPTION:At the EU Doorstep was a workshop designed for students who are interested in Europe’s future and consider that it will not only be shaped by the current EU member states but also by its neighbouring countries\, their imaginations\, expectations and (dis)illusions regarding the European Union. \nWorkshop participants had have the opportunity to: \n\nUnderstand the interplays between politics\, media and narratives in the European context\nExamine the different perceptions of the EU that are at play in countries ‘at the EU doorstep’\nAnalyse the extent to which these perceptions have implications for European integration\n\n  \nObjectives and Structure of the Workshop  \nThe European Union (EU) as a sui generis organisation on the international arena is a subject of many different narratives and representations. These images evolve based on the dynamics of integration on the European continent\, as well as due to both internal and external events and factors. Furthermore\, representations differ depending on given political and non-political actors. Recent academic literature thoroughly analysed the narratives on the EU from European member states’ perspective[1]. Research hence highlights a “polyphony of narratives” triggering diverse understandings of what the EU is\, which elements it is based on and what it brings to a country[2]. \nIn that respect\, the one-and-a-half-day workshop “At the EU Doorstep: External Perceptions of the EU by Candidate and Eastern Partnership Countries” focused on the images produced on the EU from the perspective of non-EU member states. The aim was indeed to investigate how the EU is perceived from the outside\, focusing on countries holding deep links with the EU: candidate countries of the Western Balkans and partner countries from the Eastern Partnership. \nTaking into account the context of enlargement and neighbourhood policies\, students had the opportunity to discuss the external perceptions of the EU from very specific countries\, whose views are to a certain extent tangled with accession prospects and outside incentives. Thus\, the workshop offered BA and MA students the opportunity to analyse\, with the help of experts of the countries\, different perceptions that the EU is subject to from its closest neighbours and partners. Two study options were in this respect proposed for students during the workshop: \n\nThe first one focused on the EU candidate countries of the Western Balkans\, i.e. Albania\, North Macedonia\, Montenegro and Serbia.\nThe second possibility that students could choose from focused on countries part of the Eastern Partnership\, i.e. Armenia\, Azerbaijan\, Belarus\, Georgia\, Moldova and Ukraine.\n\nThe workshop therefore aimed at providing students with a deeper understanding of how the EU is considered and represented from the outside. The analysis of external perceptions was based on different empirical materials collected by workshop leaders (newspapers\, TV\, Internet\, etc.)\, which will also enabled students to develop their methodological and analytical skills. \n  \nThe workshop was financed by the Erasmus+ Jean Monnet Module ‘Internal and external challenges to the European Union’ and the Faculty of Political and International Studies of the Jagiellonian University in Kraków. It was supported by the COST Action ENTER ‘EU Foreign Policy Facing New Realities’. \nThe workshop was organised by Duszan Augustyn and Elodie Thevenin. It took place on 15 and 16 November 2019 in Kraków.

SUMMARY:Workshop: Theorizing New Realities
DESCRIPTION:The workshop “Theorizing New Realities: EU foreign policy facing new challenges” in Aarhus (11-12 November 2019) aimed to produce a collection of new theoretical perspectives or conceptual frameworks that can help us to better analyse and understand the global environment in which the EU cultivates its foreign relations. We started from the hardly controversial premise that the EU faces considerable internal and external challenges. The workshop focussed on the external challenges\, including a less friendly US\, a more assertive Russia\, an emerging superpower China and an increasingly instable neighbourhood. Workshop participants examined the interplays between ontology (realities\, social and/or material) and epistemology (how can we know?). \nScholarship tends to refrain from engaging in creative theorizing and instead relies on applying or reproducing conventional perspectives. The global environment in which the EU operates has been conceptualized very differently\, including a global public domain\, an (anarchical) international society\, an international system with changing configurations of power\, or a global polity. \nThe new realities offer a unique opportunity to break intellectual inertia. \nContributions focussed on analytical challenges such as: \n\nConceptual issues including consequences – analytical and normative – of employing old and new concepts\nEngaging in ‘deep theorizing’\, e.g. along the lines suggested by Felix Berenskoetter (2018)\nOccidentalist representations of Europe/the European Union\nEEAS conceptual understandings of the new realities/international order. Ways of seeing the world\, with a special view to EU diplomats\nComparing existing theories to a theory built by a participant of the workshop\nDo the ‘new realities’ sufficiently dominate over the ‘old realities’ to require new theories? In other words\, contributions addressing classic issues such as old/new and change/continuity\n\nThe workshop was organized by the COST Action ENTER and the project EURDIPLO. \nWorkshop organisers were Knud Erik Jørgensen (Aarhus University)\, F. Asli Ergül Jorgensen (Ege University)

SUMMARY:Winter Training School - Images of Europe at Times of Global Challenges
DESCRIPTION:The Winter Training School “Images of Europe at Times of Global Challenges: : Perceptions of EU (foreign) policy making inside and outside Europe – Theoretical\, Methodological and Empirical Reflections” was a four-day event on November 11-14\, 2019\, in wonderful Aarhus\, European Capital of Culture 2017! \nIt was an intensive\, interactive\, yet exciting and full of opportunities event. Our team set up a tight network of peers and experts that shared knowledge and skills on how to research and conceptualize perceptions of the EU at times of major challenges in Europe and globally. We brought leading scholars in EU perceptions studies and facilitate discussion across generations\, disciplines\, methods and theories. \nAmong our expert presenters:  Natalia Chaban (University of Canterbury\, New Zealand)\, Ole Elgström (University of Lund\, Sweden)\, Alister Miskimmon (Queen’s University Belfast\, UK)\, Ben O’Loughlin (Royal Holloway\, University of London\, UK)\, Bernd Schlipphak (Münster University\, Germany)\, Veronika Zapletalová (Masaryk University\, Czech Republic). \nScholarly publications are valued as tangible outcomes of any academic event. Winter School “Images of Europe at Times of Global Challenges” aimed to produce a book co-edited by the organizers and the most motivated early-career participants consisting of written contributions by the participants – early-career researchers and leading experts. \nContent\nWinter School “Images of Europe at Times of Global Challenges” invited its participants to engage with a range of key topics associated with the study of images and perceptions of the EU in policy-making (foreign policy is one of the main foci\, but not only). We discussed the perceptions of the EU’s roles and identities\, ideas and discourses\, framing and narrative-building of the EU. We invited reflections from outside and inside the European Union. \nAmong our main topics were: \n\nPerceptions of the EU within EU member states countries and/or regions\nEU self-perceptions vs. external perceptions of the EU\nImages of the EU in international organizations\nMutual perceptions of the EU and of other major global players (the US\, China\, Russia)\nComparison of views on the EU across third countries or regions\nEvolution of images and perceptions of the EU across time.\n\nStructure\nThe Winter School featured three activities: \n\nIn-depth sessions by leading scholars. The experts talked about leading theories and new methods in the studies of perceptions of the EU and engage in discussions with the participants. Participants learned about new theoretical synergies and had an opportunity to ask critical questions.\nParticipant seminars\, which followed the sessions with experts. In these seminars\, the participants introduced their own ideas of perceptions-related research in group discussions guided by the expert presenters. Our participant received informed critical feedback from peers and experts.\nNetworking events. The Winter School put an emphasis on networking and socializing. The Winter School gave an opportunity to meet new colleagues from a variety of European countries\, learn about new perspectives and ideas and strike new collaborative projects.\n\n  \nAfter the School\nThe selected participants will be working with the organizers and the leading experts on developing the edited book. The activity schedule is as following: \n\nNovember 2019: Sign off meeting at the School with all the participants\nDecember 2019: The selection of the book contributors will be announced by the organizers\nFebruary 2020: Submission of detailed research proposals by the contributors\nJune 2020: Submission of the first drafts of the book sections\nSeptember 2020: Submission of the pre-final sections\nNovember 2020: Final submissions

SUMMARY:Workshop Determinants of EU Foreign Policy Contestation
DESCRIPTION:From the Global Compact for Migration to trade policy\, from lethal autonomous weapons to sanctions on Russia\, a range of decisions on EU external relations has been contested by states\, national parliaments\, political parties\, civil society organizations\, EU institutions and other actors at the EU and national levels. Far from being the external reflection of internal EU consensuses\, as frequently assumed\, or only the result of clashes between long-standing national foreign policy traditions\, EU external relations have become a lively battleground for different worldviews and normative commitments. In addition\, a good deal of this EU-internal contestation seems to take place in conjunction with the contestation of broader\, global processes of international negotiations and foreign policy interaction. \nThis workshop aimed to uncover and discuss the causes and drivers of such contestation: Who are the contesters of EU external relations? Why do they contest EU foreign policy? How does contestation emerge and evolve over time? How does the multilevel character of contestation (national\, European\, international) shape its nature and actors’ strategies? We plan to cover the broadest number of issue areas\, well beyond Common Foreign and Security Policy issues\, so as to embrace the largest variety of external relations matters. \nThe workshop took place on the 8th and 9th of July in Porto (Portugal) and was hosted by the University of Porto\, to discuss exciting contributions and potential projects going forward\, including possible publications. The aim was to promote a debate framed on diversity of theoretical\, methodologies\, and epistemological backgrounds around research on this area. It was also open to accommodate the diverse ways in which contestation has been addressed by different disciplines. \nThis workshop was part of the COST Action ENTER EU Foreign Policy Facing New Realities (working group 3\, contestation).

SUMMARY:Public Panel: Europe on Edge – New Realities in EU Foreign Policy
DESCRIPTION:The European Union is largely viewed as a cornerstone of European stability and prosperity. Currently\, however\, EU foreign policy experiences a broad array of new challenges\, resulting in an ongoing reconfiguration of power as well as increased contestation of liberal principles within its core values. Furthermore\, the EU has to deal with troublesome actors and neighbours in its immediate proximity. As a result\, migration flows promote domestic turmoil and enhance populist\, nationalist and anti-establishment movements harbouring Eurosceptic sentiments on one hand as well as scrutinizing existing institutions on the other. International turbulences appear in parallel to EU-domestic conflicts\, ranging from austerity\, Brexit to growing protectionist measures. \nThis panel discussed these emerging challenges to European foreign policy\, including what they mean for communication and diplomatic coordination. \nWelcome Address:\nAlexander Gemeinhardt\, Chairman of the Board\, Schader-Stiftung \nPanelists: \n\nLars Bo Larsen\, Ambassador\, Representative to the Political and Security Committee\, The Permanent Representation of Denmark to the EU\nProf. Dr. Michael Smith\, University of Warwick\nDr. Heidrun Maurer\, Lecturer in EU Politics\, University of Oxford\n\nHost:\nProf. Dr. Michèle Knodt\, Technische Universität Darmstadt \nThe foundation\, Schader-Stiftung\, and the research network “EU Foreign Policy Facing New Realities” (CA17119) of the European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST)\, led by Prof. Michèle Knodt\, Technische Universität Darmstadt\, organized this event together.

SUMMARY:Scientific Workshop - Communicating EU Foreign Policy
DESCRIPTION:COST Action ENTER (CA17119) Call for Papers – Research Workshop\nCommunicating EU Foreign Policy: The Power of Political Dialogue?\n12-14 March 2019\, Darmstadt\, Germany \nRationale and Aims: \nThe EU is facing new external realities. Key challenges for European societies – security\, the migration crisis\, environmental challenges such as climate change\, a stable energy supply\, or the stability of financial markets – require new strategies\, instruments and policies for developing amicable and constructive solutions. However\, while the EU is speaking with multiple voices\, it has not yet embraced the merits arising from this feature. Furthermore\, while the EU has been keen to be recognized as a benevolent super power\, its external image seems contested. Therefore\, both external perceptions of the EU\, and the EU’s own political communication need to be examined more thoroughly. Our focus on political dialogue refers to one of the EU’s key instruments for expressing its identity as a normative and discursive power. Over the past decades\, political dialogue has advanced as a flexible\, multi-purpose tool to express the EU’s multiplicity of voices. We aim to explore the EU’s discursive powers and the ways in which political dialogue is mobilized to acquire consent and coin European narratives. Zooming in on “new realities”\, we will\, on the one hand\, concentrate on specific topics such as EU-Africa relations and development; climate\, migration\, and on the other hand on the role of the EEAS as a communicative actor and dialogical power. Furthermore\, we will explore external perceptions of the EU as an aspirant super power. We will focus on images\, frames\, perceptions and narratives projected by the EU – and understood by audiences inside the EU\, in the European neighbourhood and around the world. In doing so\, we invite particularly scholars who focus on European foreign policy and the EU’s role in the world. \nPractical information: \nFinancial Support: Participants will be reimbursed for travel\, subsistence and accommodation according to the Rules of the COST Association and within the framework of COST Action CA17119. Further information: https://www.cost.eu/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/COSTVademecum.pdf \nHow to apply: \nPlease submit your paper title and a 300-word abstract to info@foreignpolicynewrealities.eu \nSubmission deadline: 25 January 2019 \nFurther questions: \nFor content-related queries\, please contact the workshop organizers (Dr. Franziska Müller at fmueller@uni-kassel.de).

SUMMARY:First ENTER Spring School 2019
DESCRIPTION:(Re-)Conceptualizing or (Re-)Theorizing how the EU faces New Realities\nJoin our spring school with more than 11 internationally renowned scholars and learn about cutting-edge ways to analyse current EU foreign policy. There is no participation fee\, and we offer a generous bursary to our participations. \n11-14 March 2019\, Darmstadt\, Germany \nRationale and Aims: \nThe world experiences an ongoing reconfiguration of power as well as increased contestation of the liberal global order. The EU’s neighbourhood is increasingly conflict prone and instable\, triggering migration flows and the proliferation of illiberal values. The international turbulence appears in parallel to EU-domestic conflicts\, marked by austerity\, Brexit\, nationalism\, populism and protectionism. The training school examines if traditional theories are outdated given that they employ theoretical concepts to analyse increasingly dis-jointed realities. Similarly\, the school addresses the issue whether it is time to reverse traditional inside-out research agendas\, portraying EU foreign policy as a projection of European values and interests. The training school reaches out to upcoming analysts who will conceptualize and theorize the EU facing a new world order. It aims to train and strengthen an emerging interdisciplinary community of early career researchers. Students will not only be taught the theories of yesterday but also the tools it takes to (re-)conceptualize and (re-)theorize the new realities in which the EU is situated. \nConfirmed speakers: \nDr. Annegret Bendiek (German Institute for International and Security Affairs\, Germany) \nAssoc. Prof. Dr. Oriol Costa (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona\, Spain) \nDr. F. Asli Ergul Jorgensen (Ege University\, Turkey) \nProf. Dr. Knud Erik Jørgensen (Aarhus University\, Denmark) \nProf. Dr. Stephan Keukeleire (University of Leuven\, Belgium) \nProf. Dr. Michèle Knodt (Technische Universität Darmstadt\, Germany) \nProf. Dr. Patrick Müller (Vienna School of International Studies\, Austria) \nProf. Dr. Cornelia Navari (The University of Buckingham\, UK) \nDr. Alexander Reichwein (Justus-Liebig-University Giessen\, Germany) \nProf. Dr. Michael Smith (University of Warwick\, UK) \n \nProgramme: \nTwelve 90-minute sessions between 11-14 March 2019\, including: \nTen lectures from ten international scholars to obtain an overview of theories\, concepts and approaches \nOne team work session that students can enjoy interactive learning \nOne roundtable session where the scholars discuss and elaborate on the given lectures and Q&As \nPractical information: \nFree participation – there is no application or participation fee! \nFinancial Support: All participants will receive a fixed bursary of 800 Euros towards their travel\, accommodation and subsistence in accordance with the rules of the COST Association.

SUMMARY:Scientific Workshop - EU's Climate and Energy Policy
DESCRIPTION:COST Action ENTER (CA17119) Call for Papers – Research Workshop\nEU’s Climate and Energy Policy: Perceptions and Challenges\n11-13 March 2019\, Darmstadt\, Germany \nRationale and Aims: \nThe Union’s role in developing international climate regimes and organizing international energy markets have\, together with ambitious climate and energy policies followed by several European countries\, elevated the importance of both climate and energy policies within many of the EU’s policy arenas. The workshop seeks to provide both substantive and ideational account for the Union’s engagement in climate and energy politics. It will open with an overview of the contemporary energy and climate policy landscape in the EU\, focusing on the main political trends which come along the increasingly closer entanglement of the two. Within the ideational reflection of these trends\, the workshop will focus on the self-perception of the key climate and energy actors both at the European and the national level\, as well as the reflection of the Union’s position in the international climate and energy regimes by third parties such as non-European countries and international institutions. Finally\, the workshop will seek to nuance these reflections by engaging policy practitioners. Throughout the workshop\, questions such as “What is the current state of the EU’s climate and energy policy?”\, “What ideas are attached to it?”\, “How do these ideas resonate among the member states and outside the EU?”\, “Are there any competing narratives in the perception of the EU as a climate actor?” will be tackled. \nFinancial Support: Participants will be reimbursed for travel\, subsistence and accommodation according to the Rules of the COST Association and within the framework of COST Action CA17119. Further information: https://www.cost.eu/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/COSTVademecum.pdf \nHow to apply: \nPlease submit your paper title and a 300-word abstract to info@foreignpolicynewrealities.eu \nSubmission deadline: 25 January 2019 \nFurther questions: \nFor content-related queries\, please contact the workshop organizers (Dr Jan Osicka at osicka@mail.muni.cz).
