Latest articles from LSE EUROPP blog: 9 - 15 November 2013 | EUROPP

At the end of February 2012, the LSE Public Policy Group launched a new School-wide blog, EUROPP – European Politics and Policy.

Posting twice daily, the EUROPP blog aims to provide coverage across European governance and policy making and well as build public understanding of the social sciences. With a multi-disciplinary focus, we seek to contribute to a better informed public debate and to facilitate the sharing and exchange of knowledge between experts within and outside universities.

We are seeking short pieces of 800 to 1,200 words that cogently explain developments in key European policy areas such as security, environment or financial integration as well as across the 28 countries of the EU (including Britain), and three key European ‘neighbourhood’ regions – the Mediterranean, the Balkans and countries lying east of the EU.

To submit potential articles, or for further information, please email the EUROPP team at: EUROPPBlog@lse.ac.uk
