Europe in the Trump era: Call for papers issued ahead of workshop

A call for papers has been issued ahead of a workshop which will focus on Europe and the EU’s role in the world in the era of Donald Trump.

Study Abroad - by subject - European Politics

The workshop, Europe, the EU and the ‘rest of the world’ in the Trump era: order making or (dis)order taking?, is jointly organised by the Department of European and International Studies at King’s College London and the London School of Economics. It is taking place on 5 June.

Ahead of the workshop, organisers are inviting submissions for researchers on topics related to the theme, with a particular focus on issues of foreign policy, security and defence, trade and aid.

The organisers said: “The aim of this one-day workshop is to have a comprehensive, in-depth assessment of Europe’s role in a quickly changing international environment, by presenting ongoing research and engaging in a conversation with invited practitioners.”

The workshop will take place over four panels with academic papers, with a closed-doors meeting with practitioners at lunch time and a public event in the evening on ‘EU-UK relations: from a reset to a new reality?’.
