The University of Pittsburgh European Colloquium Series presents: Richard Huzzey, Leicester/Yale

Elyes Ghanmi wrote his PhD in Political Science on the role and strategies of the European Commission in the EU-Tunisian Partnership (1995-2010). His current research interests include the EU and U.S. approaches to Libya.

This is the 6th annual graduate student conference on the European Union. The conference participants are graduate students from a wide variety of universities in Europe, Canada and the U.S. with an EU related research focus.

Piers Ludlow of the London School of Economics makes the case for including knowledge of the past development of the European integration process in any discussions about its present state and future course. In particular, he will stress that several of the Union's most distinctive features can only properly be understood by knowing more about their development over the integration process's 60-plus year history.

This conference has been intellectually organized by Political Science Professor Michael Goodhart. The papers represent the work of an American Political Science Association task force focusing on the conference's theme.
