European Papers - A Journal on Law and Integration

Aims & Scope

European Papers is conceived of as a cultural project: a tool for reflecting on European integration as a means to create a new political community.

European Papers intends thus to be part and parcel of the debate on the process of European legal integration, on its causes and its functioning, on its most remote interconnections with other social events.

Its mission is to draw attention to the manifold forms of integrating Europe and to the far-reaching implications of this process.

Moreover, such a reflection requires a wider dialogue between the legal experience and other forms of integration, economic, social and cultural.

To forge a law journal as an instrument for a cultural mission entails a number of inescapable steps.

This conception implies passing over the traditional hurdles of language, nationality and traditions.

European Papers could be an ideal opportunity to match this demand, through its multinational governing bodies, whose members share its ideal and cultural philosophy.

It further entails the capacity to reconcile antithetical needs.

On the one hand, we intend to promote a scholarly debate on the theoretical foundations of the process of European integration in its manifold expressions.

On the other hand, the tumultuous development of this process, which takes place on a daily basis, requires an on-going debate on events that incessantly unfold under one’s eyes.

To reconcile these apparently antithetical needs, we have thought of European Papers as composed of two parts: a four-monthly e-Journal – i.e. an electronic and open access journal, that emphasises our belief in the open and free character of scientific research – and a “militant” European Forum, designed to be a hotbed of intellectual discussion, a breeding place for ideas, and an indispensable tool for updating and keeping in touch with the latest developments.
