In this seminar, Philippe Schmitter will present the "Europolitan papers", a series of so far 12+ essays that aim at overcoming the core deficits and dilemmas of European integration by building stepwise a democratic European political system.

For the European project to better cope with the planetary mega threats, Philippe Schmitter has conceived the "Europolitan papers": a series of so far 12+ essays that aim at overcoming the core deficits and dilemmas of European integration by building stepwise a democratic European political system.

The Europolitan Project is work in progress that is as ambitious as pragmatic: it wants to engage European intellectuals to engender a process of collective ownership, by critiquing, commenting and co-authoring proposals for reforms, under the pragmatic constraint to do so without a formal EU Constitution. 

Upon registration you will receive a link to the three essays No. 1, No. 5 and No 9 that will be discussed in this session. This is the first seminar in a series of more to follow in 2023, in the framework of the new interdisciplinary EUI Cluster TD21 Transnat?ional Democracy in the 21st Century.
