Research project
The network will start its research activities by gathering information about new integration efforts in four key thematic areas at the forefront of single market integration: single financial market, digital single market, single energy market and defence single market.
Internally, the single market project has experienced increased political contestation in recent years. Internationally, the economic as well as political principles of liberalism are under attack. Both dynamics challenge to the very foundation of the single market project.
Our research and teaching workshops have allowed the scholars and experts involved to exchange feedback on their ongoing research and best practices for the teaching of single market integration.
Research workshop – March 2021
Challenges to the European Single Market: Renationalisation, Resilience, or Renewed Integration
On the 11th March 2021, the scholars and experts involved in the VISTA Jean Monnet Network met online for a research workshop.
During the entire day, each member of the network had the chance to present their ongoing research. The panels, organized around the main policy areas covered by the network, allowed the scholars to receive valuable feedback from their colleagues.
These papers will then merge into the special issue which will be published in 2022, part of the deliverables of this project.
Teaching workshop – May 2021
