WSI SUMMER SCHOOL 2014
Problems and Perspectives of European Integration: Economics, Politics, and Solidarity in Hard Times
Berlin, 22-26 September 2014
The role of EU integration for the disembedding and its potential to re-embed European societies will be at the center of the WSI Summer School. From a multi-disciplinary perspective, including economics, political science, and sociology, it will deal with current problems of European integration. Furthermore, the WSI Summer School seeks to find realistic perspectives for creating a more social and democratic Europe.

The WSI Summer School aims at giving participants an overview on core policy fields which are crucial for the understanding of the dynamics of European integration:
- Institutional and Political Economic Obstacles to Social Europe
- European Macroeconomic Policy: The Euro as Challenge to the European Social Model
- Labour Markets and Social Policy in the EU and in European Member States
- Trade Unions in the EU. National Retreat or Mobilising for Social Europe?
- Sociology of European Integration. The Europeanization of Cultures, Collective Identities, and Public Spheres
The WSI Summer School will not only analyze European policies but will also contribute to a critical assessment of its outcomes and discuss political alternatives. On the last day of the Summer School, prominent academics and activists will be invited to identify a way out of the current predicament.
Application deadline 18 April 2014
