Reasserting the center of the nation state: How supranational institutions reshape the public sector

Presenter: 
Philipp Trein, University of Lausanne
Event Status: 
As Scheduled
Date: 
Mon, 04/16/2018 - 12:00

In this talk, I will analyze the impact of institutionalization at the supranational level on reforms that integrate and/or coordinate existing policy sectors at the domestic level. More specifically, I argue that the ongoing agencification of the European Union, where European agencies have been established with the aim of providing policy advice and fostering cooperation, has crucially strengthened these reforms.

Euro Challenge

Event Status: 
As Scheduled
Date: 
Fri, 03/16/2018 (All day)

Launched in 2006, Euro Challenge is an exciting educational opportunity for 9th and 10th grade high school students to learn about the European Union (EU) and the euro. Teams of three to five students are asked to make presentations answering specific questions about the European economy and the single currency, the euro. They are also asked to pick one member country of the “euro area” (the 19 EU member countries that have adopted the euro so far), to examine an economic problem at the country level, and to identify policies for responding to that problem.
