The End of Multiculturalism in Europe? Migrants, Refugees and their Integration
May 24, 2012 // 9:00am — 3:00pm
European Studies
In spite of the economic need for migrant labor and a tradition of embracing multi-culturalism, European electorates and their representatives in government have moved away from the more liberal and inclusive policies of the past. Some European leaders have even pronounced the “end of multiculturalism.”

Transatlantic Relations in the 21st Century
June 12, 2012 // 4:00pm — 5:30pm
European Studies
Neither the U.S. nor Europe can afford to believe that the oft-heralded "rise of the Rest" in the 21st century must necessarily erode transatlantic relations. Current grand strategic shifts rather afford a precious opportunity to parse through the archaic vs. stubbornly indispensable facets of U.S.-European relations: and indeed to mitigate the excessive narrative of a "hegemonic transition" away from the West.
Legal Culture and Anti-Corruption Reform: Preliminary Findings of National Survey and Focus Groups Data
June 14, 2012 // 12:00pm — 1:00pm
European Studies
As Serbia, Macedonia and Kosovo aim to harmonize their laws with the European Union, little is known about their legal culture and the extent to which European legal transfers are accepted in these countries. Using nationally representative surveys, focus groups, and in-depth interviews in Serbia, Macedonia and Kosovo, this research project maps legal cultures in these countries and investigates the limits of anti-corruption reform.
