Cultural Diplomacy in Europe: A Forum for Young Leaders
Cultural Diplomacy in Europe: A Forum for Young Leaders is an active network of individuals interested in strengthening and supporting the European relations. The next CDE Weeklong Seminar will take place in Berlin from 14th - 19th March 2010 and will focus on the following theme: The Treaty of Lisbon and the New Face of the EU: The "United States of Europe"?
In a recent speech at the Institute for Cultural Diplomacy, Ms. Ségolène Royal made the following statement: “Now is the time to raise ourselves up to the demand of a realistic utopia: The United States of Europe”. The forthcoming CDE Weeklong Seminar will explore the recently ratified Lisbon treaty and consider the idea of a “United States of Europe” in detail.
The forthcoming CDE Weeklong Seminar will focus on the following issues
- Assess the impact of the Lisbon Treaty on the unity of the European Union and the EU decision-making process.
- Examine the idea of a “United States of Europe” with a particular focus on foreign and security policy, economic policy, and influence as a global political player.
- Explore the reasons for the apparent rise of the right on the accession of new EU member states and the EU integration process.
- Consider the challenges of developing a pan-European migration policy and explore multilateral approaches to address this issue.
- Examine the interplay between identity and religion in the context of the European Union and the importance of religion to the expansion of the EU.
- Consider the role languages play in dividing and uniting different cultural
groups and the development of the English language as the “world” language.
