Call for Papers – Resolving the Tensions between EU Trade and Non-Trade Objectives: Actors, Norms, and Processes

The Utrecht Centre for Regulation and Enforcement in Europe (RENFORCE) seeks paper proposals for the workshop on “Resolving the Tensions between EU Trade and Non-Trade Objectives: Actors, Norms, and Processes”. The workshop takes place on 10 November 2017 at Utrecht University. Full details are here. Submissions of paper proposals are due on 1 July 2017.

The workshop explores the actors, norms, and processes that are involved in balancing and resolving the tensions between the protection and promotion of specific principles and objectives and the EU’s external trade policy. The focus of the workshop is on the recent issues concerning the EU’s unilateral and bilateral actions (as opposed to multilateral action) in the realm of EU’s external trade law and policy.

A limited amount of funds are available to cover the invited speakers’ travelling expense and accommodation for the sake of the workshop.
