On Wednesday October 8th 2025, the library - together with IDEAs (Inter-Departmental European Advanced Studies) – will organize their second book presentation during lunch break of the new academic year.
Professors Martin Westlake and Didier Georgakakis will present a special issue they wrote for ‘European Politics and Society’ (Volume 26, Issue 2, 2025): People Building Europe: New Developments in EU Personnel and Professionals Studies.
You can read the special full text online here: https://coleurope.on.worldcat.org/oclc/1513884331
The editors examine the way in which EU personnel and professionals’ studies have developed and evolved over time, gradually branching out into different disciplines and different cultural traditions. They chart the way the literature has followed the growth and evolution of the EU itself, including more institutions, agencies and other bodies, more policy areas and more member states. They argue for an interdisciplinary approach whilst also pushing at the boundaries of different disciplines, concluding that such approaches can only strengthen the general impact of EU studies.
The discourse will be followed by a short Q&A-session with the students.
