Is There a European Model of Governance? A Comparative Perspective

The International Political Science Association (IPSA) is proud to co-host its latest international conference with the newly formed Luxembourg
Political Science Association (Luxpol) and the European Governance program at the University of Luxembourg. The title of the bilingual
conference is “Is There a European Model of Governance?” and the general theme is European Governance. This conference will take place from March 18 to 20, 2010, and will attempt to answer the question:

Is There a European Model of Governance? A Comparative Perspective

European integration has led to the ongoing building of an original model of governance that needs to be assessed and compared with other
regional integrations; the impact of European integration on member states and neighboring countries (regarding public policies, law-making
processes, political institutions and actors in general) calls for comparative research; triggered by or independent from European integration,
new forms of governance (including  political participation, delegation, decision-making, evaluation) that emerged in European countries also
need to be studied; finally, the building of an original European model of governance may call into question theoretical and methodological
approaches usually adopted in political science research.

Program co-Chairs: Wyn Grant (University of Warwick) and Daniel Tarschys (IPSA Vice-President).
Local Organizers: Philippe Poirier (University of Luxembourg) and Patrick Dumont, (University of Luxembourg)
