Presentations on Israel and Ghana - brilliant students lectures all semester. Great discussions on vulnerability and power potential of small states in the UN and the EU. Keep up the good work ... on small states.
Brilliant Students in my EU course at Williams. In the last class, they came up with great answers while discussing how the EU will evolve in the next 50 years. Thanks for a great semester.
In 2002, the Society for the Advancement of Scandinavian Study (SASS) published a special issue of its journal, Scandinavian Studies, titled: The Scandinavian Way to Europe.
This best selling volume has now been republished as a book, edited by Christine Ingebritsen.
The book documents how and why the five northern European states pursue alternative paths in the European integration process.
My contribution to the original journal issue was an article on “The Skeptical Political Elite Versus the Pro-European Public: The Case of Iceland“.
Students from the class 'The European Union: The past, Present, and Future' at Williams working on policy making in the European Union. I am really impressed by their engagement in European studies. They are very interested in European nations and European integration. They recognize the importance of the European project for the future of Europe.
Students at Williams College discuss whether leading economic sectors construct the Nordic states approaches to European integration and enjoy Icelandic seaweed and caramels - before going out to support their team in the game against Amherst 🙂
Discussion on how little Frogs turn into Princes at Williams 🙂 Where do the Nordic and the Baltic states seek economic, political and societal shelter? Where would Scotland, Catalonia and Quebec, as new small independent states, seek shelter? Would they turn into Princes?
More on the Little Frog which is trying to fly - tomorrow, Tuesday, October 8 at 2:45pm to 3:45pm at Williams, Griffin Hall, Room 3
