Final Report Summary - EU-GLOBAL (TRANSATLANTIC PERSPECTIVES IN A CHANGING GLOBAL CONTEXT: MULTILATERALISM THROUGH REGIONALISM)
The broad focus of the project on various transatlantic perspectives has allowed the participating research institutions to bring in their own expertise and experience to make a contribution to two global research priorities. Comprehensive security and governance have been analyzed through various perspectives and a comparative outlook. As a result, the project has annexed two issue areas on three different levels; in the EU region, wider European neighborhood and within the global system through three different perspectives, those of a member state, a candidate country, and a global actor. By doing so, this project has provided a strong value-added to the regional scientific studies in ERA that will enhance from a global approach and much desired comprehensive solutions to regional problems with significant global effect.
At the end of the project duration, the EU GLOBAL has proved to be real success connecting 28 researchers from 5 institutions. The researchers held conferences, seminars, public lectures and organized workshops during their secondments. Outcomes of research have already been disseminated through Research and Network Meetings, two joint panels at major conferences, conference papers, workshops, seminars, and publications. Further information could be found on the project’s website: http://fp7-euglobal.eu. The project has been quite fruitful as far as transfer of knowledge and dissemination is concerned, which is in itself the greatest accomplishment of the project.
