22 March 2011: RMIT/CESAA seminar: The Europe 2020 Strategy

The EU Centre at RMIT in conjunction with the Contemporary European Studies Association of Australia (CESAA) presents a seminar with Paolo Canelas de Castro:

The Europe 2020 Strategy: Putting the EU Back on Track?

The EU’s new strategy for sustainable growth and jobs, Europe 2020 is the successor to the poorly implemented Lisbon Strategy. It comes in the midst of the worst economic crisis for decades and structural problems of global magnitude like climate change, globalisation and stark competition for natural resources. After decades of peace and prosperity, and of relying on its unique institutions and successful method of social consensus building, and in spite of the recent adoption of the Lisbon Treaty which was meant to devolve it the capacity to have a central place in the world, the EU is in fact currently facing an unprecedented situation of uncertainty, insecurity, even self-doubt and depression.
