In December 2010, the Kolleg-Forschergruppe, directed by Prof. Dr. Tanja A. Börzel and Prof. Dr. Thomas Risse, organizes an international conference on "The Diffusion of Regional Integration". The conference will have three major themes around which the panels will be organized:

1.     Comparing Regional Integration: Divergence or Convergence
2.     Exporting Regional Integration: The European Union as Promoter of Regional Integration
3.     Importing Regional Integration: Adoption, Translation, Resistance

For this academic conference, we invite papers from various disciplinary perspectives to each of these themes. Papers should explicitly address the diffusion of regional integration as outcome or process.

Please find more detailed information on the three themes on our website: Please find more detailed information on the three themes on our website: www.transformeurope.eu.
