 Call for Papers: Pittsburgh Papers on the EU

The European Union Center of Excellence at the University of Pittsburgh welcomes submissions of scholarly works appropriate for the Pittsburgh Papers on the European Union. Under the editorship of Professor Alberta Sbragia, Vice-Provost for Graduate Studies, the Papers will be a free-standing scholarly papers series, meaning that papers will be published individually, allowing for somewhat longer manuscripts.  Submissions are welcome from scholars or practitioners working in the United States, Europe or elsewhere and at all career levels.  All submissions will be screened for topic and length, and all published papers will have been subject to double blind anonymous review.

Submissions are encouraged from all disciplines related to the contemporary or historical dynamics of the European Union.  This could include domestic or transnational issues or relations among members, accession or candidate states or the EU within a regional or global context.
