RESEARCH PROJECT
ENVIRONMENT
This research fellowship is offered within the framework of the GEM-STONES
research project on the capacity of the EU to contribute to purposeful complex
regime management. It is an integrated research project involving 15 partners
institutions, 30 senior academics and 15 newly hired early stage researchers –
for further information see www.gem-stones.eu
This project will be part of a Work Package bringing together various strands of
political science allowing for a better understanding of the capacity of multilevel
governance to see multiplying forms of regionalisms amount to constructive
competition rather than destructive fragmentation. It will comparatively
highlight:
(1) interplays between EU regional and inter-regional dynamics;
(2)
overlapping regional security institutions; and
(3) competing regionally embedded
foreign policy norms.
Each of the 3 associated ESRs will:
- Explore the EU’s relative capacity to shape other regional organizations;
- Empirical input to the structured Data Set drawn from the fuzzy-data sets
associated with Comparative Regionalism
- Analyse the EU’s relative capacity to manage complexity from either a causal or
appropriateness perspective
- Mobilise process-tracing & QCA methods to produce heuristic categorisations of
regional organisations -
- Demonstrate the theoretical implications of a growing drive towards competing
forms of regional cooperation -
- Jointly produce an edited volume collecting contribution from all 3 ESRs and
their supervisors (GEM book series)
OBJECTIVES
ESR 9 will focus on theoretical and methodological issues related to the growing
importance of the regional dimension in the management of complex regimes. Inter-regional
dynamics will be assessed through comparative analysis of qualitative
case studies combining QCA and process-tracing.
The selected regional case study,
Latin America, will reflect an empirical setting where the EU seeks to interface with
a variety of endogenously driven regional initiative.
EXPECTED RESULTS
ESR 9 will:
1. Successfully accomplish all necessary doctoral training both at the local and
GEM-STONES consortium wide levels;
2. Produce an updated typology of interregional institutions linking the EU and
Latin-America; as well as a contribution focussed on the EU-LAC inter-regionalism
to the GEM-STONES shared data set;
3. Write an original PhD dissertation providing an analytical description of EU-LAC
institutional interactions in light of evolving political systems on either side of the
relationship; and a contrasted analysis of the relative impact of competing regional
arrangements in Latin America on the EU’s interregional strategy.
