EUI academic publications 2018

The European University Institute (EUI) is an international institution devoted to teaching and research at the highest university level, focusing on European issues, the cultural and scientific heritage of Europe and its institutional historical development. It hosts interdisciplinary research programmes on the major issues confronting contemporary European societies and the construction of Europe. Over the years the Institute has developed world-class domains of expertise thanks to its outstanding international faculty. Through this intense activity, the EUI stimulates and nurtures research networks aimed at advancing knowledge in the Social Sciences and Humanities and addressing grand challenges. The EUI comprises four academic departments: Economics, History and Civilization, Law, Political and Social Sciences. The Robert Schuman Centre has been conducting high-level research on the dynamics of European integration and Europe's role in the world for 25 years. The activities of the Centre form a bridge between the EUI and national and European institutions; between theoretical and applied research; and between academia and the world of practice. Furthermore, the EUI has developed one of Europe's largest doctoral and postdoctoral programmes in the social sciences and humanities. Its doctoral and postdoctoral researchers, including the Max Weber and Jean Monnet Programme fellows, as well as the professorial staff, play a crucial role in European and international networks, research groups and journals. The works collected in this report attest to the dynamism of the whole EUI academic community and serve to make the EUI research output better known in both academic and non-academic milieus.
