The European Union is at a crossroads. Its `social dilemma' focuses on the form and
direction of economic and social integration and regulation. A dilemma of `sites of
governance' concerns the role of the EU in the world. Its `constitutional dilemma' is
how to join the resources, traditions and symbolism of states with those of supranational
and intergovernmental institutions. These significant issues form the subject
of this book. The first part of the book concerns education and social justice, including
vocational training, transatlantic competition and cooperation and gender
equality and the concept of care. The second part focuses on asylum and immigration,
including the diffusion of the Safe Third Country concept and the role of the
Commission in developing EU immigration policy. The third part discusses political
identity and constitutionalism, in particular the construction of a European political
identity, the European Arrest Warrant and constitutional pluralism and the role
of civil society in the Convention on the Future of Europe.
This bilingual volume comprises the revised versions of papers first presented at the
Fourth International Workshop for Young Scholars (WISH) / Quatrième Rencontre
Internationale des Jeunes Chercheurs (RIJC). The fourth WISH/RIJC was held in Aix-en-Provence
on 18 and 19 November 2005. It was organised by the European Law
Journal, together with Centre d'Études et de Recherches Internationales et
Communautaires (CERIC - CNRS-UMR 6201) of the Faculté de Droit et de Science
Politique of the Université Paul Cézanne Aix-Marseille III, and the College of Europe
(Warsaw). WISH/RIJC is an annual workshop bringing together the most promising
young scholars in specific fields of European Union law from throughout the world.
Its objective is to identify and discuss themes which are likely to be the most significant
topics of research in the field of European Union law in the first half of the
21st century. This book is one of the fruits of the fourth WISH/RIJC.
