JULY 19 PEACE LUNCH FEATURING PROFESSOR ANASTASIOU Professor Anastasiou will speak on the EU as a Novel System of Governance for Peace and Democracy: Achievements and Challenges. The presentation will highlight how the EU process of integration and institution building help transform Europe from a region of war and violence to one of peace and stability. It will focus on the novel institutions of the EU, the idea of economic and political integration, the expansion of citizen rights beyond the nation state and the process of enlargement as an instrument of expanding peace, democracy and wellbeing. The new challenges facing the EU today will be addressed as well, particularly the debt crisis and possible pathways forward.
