Format (derived from our highly successful project – the Critical European Studies workshop):

In order to foster a constructive debate, each workshop starts with a brief introduction of the theme and the pre-selected text used to kick-start the discussion followed by a few select expert commentators discussing and enhancing the perspectives developed in the core text from the angle of their own research/activism and in the context of current struggles. This is followed by a workshop-type discussion instead of the conference-style Q&A, in order to collectively advance knowledge, understanding and analysis of the themes raised in the workshop and develop shared ideas for action.

Initial contributions are limited to 5 minutes per commentator.

Text: Angela Wigger and Laura Horn, 2021, ‘Lobbying in the EU: How Much Power for Big Business? Still influential after all these years – corporate interests in the EU’, in H. Zimmerman and A. Dur (eds), Key Controversies in European Integration 3e, (Palgrave).
