iCES Publications News

iCES, the Institute of Contemporary European Studies anounces its publications. These reflect the numerous lectures and seminars as well as the character of our partnerships and research.

Occasional Paper Series

His lecture, together with a short postscript written six months later, has recently appeared as iCES Occasional paper 01 both online (ISSN 2040-6517) and in print (ISSN 2040-6509).

On 23 April 2009 Jean-Dominique Giuliani, Chairman of the Robert Schuman Foundation, the leading French think tank on European affairs, delivered the keynote address for the annual iCES Jean Monnet Memorial Lecture on the theme: `Defence and Diplomacy: What Next for Europe ?’. Plans are under way to publish this address as iCES Occasional Paper 02.

Contemporary Europe: Annual Review

Contemporary Europe, the iCES Annual Review 08/09, will be published in September 2009 both online (ISSN 20040-6495) and in print (ISSN 2040-6487). Edited by Professor Michael Scriven, Director of iCES, the aim of the Review is to analyse economic, social, political, cultural and educational developments in Europe over the past twelve months from the perspective of iCES. Contributors to the Review include iCES academic staff, iCES Research Associates, iCES Distinguished Visiting Fellows and other European specialists linked to iCES.

Contemporary Europe contains essays on the European financial and economic situation, the recent European elections, European institutions post the elections, energy and sustainability in Europe, European Business, the European manufacturing sector, the European solar energy market and reflections on the European project and transatlantic relations.

In addition, there are short articles on iCES partnerships such as the Jean Monnet Association, the Robert Schuman Foundation, the European Government Business Relations Council, the Senior Experts group, the European Business School Paris and the European Business School Madrid.

A concluding section comprises review essays and iCES research profiles focused on ethnography, sub-state nationalisms, internet technologies and the media.

Position, Specialists and Research Papers

Future publications will include joint iCES/Senior Experts Occasional Papers (the first of which will be devoted to the theme: `Europe 20 Years After the Fall of the Berlin Wall’) and the keynote addresses of iCES major lectures planned for 2009-2010 (see article on `iCES Lectures and Seminars 2009-2010).

These iCES publications will not only provide a valuable annual record of the Institute’s work in European affairs, but will also underpin the overall academic endeavour of Regent’s College as it moves towards its application for Taught Degree Awarding Powers (TDAPS).
