Professor Kerry Howell and I have just been accepted to present at the UACES 2012 conference in Passau. This is sure to be a wonderful event and a great opportunity for future connections in SLGP. Our paper is titled: ‘The Law of Diminishing Relevance: Can Theory Still Successfully Explain EU Governance amid Rapid Change and Economic Crisis?’ and grew out of a number of discussions Kerry and I had regarding the potential for the existing gap between theory and practice to widen. Looking at topical discussion of political and economic crises in the UK and EU, we explore the need to reconnect with theoretical approaches in addressing ideas of crises in these realms.
Looking forward to meeting new colleagues at the conference to continue this topical and interesting debate.
