"The 1996 Intergovernmental Conference (IGC) will be a crucial turning point for the future of the European Union. All over Europe, lawyers, governments, political scientists and the world of industry are gearing up to the IGC and it is important that citizens of the Union are offered quality information on the Conference. With this series of seminars, organised under the aegis of the Centre for European Legal studies (Cambridge), Professor Alan Dashwood aims to offer informed propositions and reasoned contributions to this debate." "Bringing together an eminent panel of scholars and practitioners from varied backgrounds, the seminar series examines the items on the IGC agenda, identifies priorities and suggests solutions for the revision of the Maastricht Treaty. From the reform of the Common Agricultural Policy to the balance of powers, from Economic and Monetary Union to Social Policy, and from variable geometry to enlargement, the panel scrutinised the vital issues that will be central to the IGC." "The first four seminars examine respectively the questions of the distribution of powers between the Members States and the Union; the issues of Democracy, Accountability and Transparency; Enlargement and External Relations; and the Common Foreign and Security Policy. The fifth seminar draws the previous debates together and endeavours to propose viable options for the revision of the Treaty."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
