Europe is a zone of tremendous diversity. Migration within and to Europe has generated multicultural societies across the continent. Europe‟s citizens are ruled though an intricate maze of multi-level governance structures and institutions those range from the local to the pan-European to the international. In the realm of political economy, corporations, industries, and states operate in distinct ways in a variety of different settings, and while the former Eastern Europe has been reunited with the West, the backgrounds of these two regions often dictates dissimilar trajectories into the contemporary era. Historians have focused on exploring not only distinct national paths to democratization, but also European countries‟ connection to former colonies and to minorities within their borders.

Given this extraordinary context, for its 19th International Conference of Europeanists the Council for European Studies is interested in having participants reflect on and explore the variety of diversities within Europe: political, administrative, legal, geographic, economic, social, cultural, intellectual, and identitarian. The Council for European Studies welcomes proposals for panels, roundtables, book discussions and individual papers on the study of Europe broadly defined. The organizer encourages proposals in the widest range of disciplines, and particularly welcome panels that combine disciplines, nationalities, and generations. The Conference Program Committee will accept only two submissions per person and members may only participate in a maximum of two sessions.
