Why the EU fails?

03/12/2009 - 04/12/2009
Organiser : The Finnish Institute of International Affairs
The Finnish Institute of International Affairs’ EU Conference on Twitter: Ask about the EU’s functionality (or dysfunctionality) from experts!
 
The Finnish Institute of International Affairs (FIIA) is organising a conference with the title Why the EU fails on 3-4 December 2009. The conference features key experts discussing the European Union’s current problems from the perspective of its citizens, member states and outside actors. In order to also allow those who are not attending the conference to participate in the debate, FIIA publishes the conference on the micro-blogging service Twitter.  

This means that anybody can ask questions from the renowned panel of speakers that includes Jorma Ollila from the Reflection Group on the Future of the EU, Andrew Moravcsik from Princeton University, Erkki Liikanen, the Chairman of the Board of the Bank of Finland, and Kalypso Nicolaidis from Oxford University.   

The conference consists of four sessions that deal with issues such as euroscepticism, lack of political leadership in the EU, migration, supranationalism, the financial crisis, the Lisbon strategy, crisis management and the global role of the EU.

Submitting questions is simple. You can either visit the conference’s Twitter site or – if you are unable to tweet – send your question to johanna.nykanen@upi-fiia.fi. Tweets on the conference debate can be found at http://twitter.com/EUFailureConf. The site will be updated frequently during the conference. A more substantial report on the conference can be found afterwards on our website.
