Welcome to the 13th Biennial Conference of the European Union Studies Association in Baltimore! Nearly 500 researchers and practitioners from over 150 institutions across the world are participating in over 130 panels and roundtables, making this one of the largest EUSA Conferences ever.
There are many special events of interest: on Thursday, there will be a JCMS sponsored lecture by Andrew Moravcsik-a reception sponsored by JCMS will follow; on Friday there will be a lunchtime talk by Alberta Sbragia (lifetime achievement award recipient for 2013) hosted by the University of Pittsburgh, and a special EUSA afternoon panel on funding opportunities available through the Jean Monnet/Lifelong Learning Programme of the EU Commission. In addition, David Cleeton will speak Saturday at lunch as part of the meeting of the EUSA Economics Interest Section. Finally, for the first time we will be collaborating with our colleagues at ECSA World by presenting two ECSA World organized panels.
Do not miss the EUSA Prize Ceremony on Friday at 6:45pm, where we will acknowledge Alberta Sbragia and the winners of Best Book, Best Dissertation, and Best Paper Prizes. This will be followed by the EUSA Reception (free to conference participants) at 7:30.
The European Union Studies Association is grateful for a generous conference grant from the Lifelong Learning Programme of the European Commission, and logistical assistance, financial sponsorship and organizational support from American University, Johns Hopkins University and the American Consortium on EU Studies (ACES), European Union Center of Excellence-consisting of American University, George Mason University, George Washington University, Georgetown University and Johns Hopkins University (secretariat).

EUSA- JEPP Special Issue:
Paper Nomination Procedure
EUSA-JEPP Special Issue
EUSA and the Journal of European Public Policy (JEPP) are pleased to announce the second special issue, which will be based on the best papers presented at the 2013 EUSA Conference in Baltimore. JEPP is a flagship journal in the field of European policy and politics and consistently ranks highly in the Social Science Citation Index (SSCI). In 2012 it ranked 5/149 of all Political Science titles in Google Scholar Metrics.
Who nominates?
The most important actors in the whole process are the discussants of the papers presented at the EUSA Conference. Having read and discussed the papers, they know them best and they will be asked to nominate individual papers for assessment. Each discussant can nominate only one paper from the panel he/she has discussed. He/she however does not have to nominate a paper. Only papers that are or have the potential to be outstanding contributions to the field of EU studies broadly conceived should be nominated. Only full papers (not fragments or works in progress) can be nominated.
How will papers be nominated?
A nomination slip has been prepared for each individual panel. This nomination slip contains the names of the paper givers and the titles of their respective papers. The nomination slip will be given to the discussant as part of his/her conference package and is to be returned to EUSA at the conclusion of each panel.
The review process
Within two weeks of the end of the conference, the authors of the nominated papers will be informed by EUSA central office that their paper has been nominated and asked whether or not they want their paper to be considered. Following the nomination, the papers will go through a two-stage review process. In a first phase, the members of the EUSA Executive Committee, the Program Committee, and the editors of JEPP will assess all nominated papers and establish a ranking of the papers. The papers with the best ranking will then, in a second step, go through JEPP’s peer review process. It is planned that the review process will be complete by the end of Summer 2013, with the publications being online in “early view” in Autumn or late 2013 and the hard copy published early 2014.
