U.S.-Western Europe Regional Workshop on Domestic Sources of European Integration; Tubingen, Germany; December, 1994

9311657 Mingst该奖项支持六位美国社会科学家与欧洲同事一起参加一个研讨会，计划一个关于影响欧洲一体化中国家合作因素的合作研究项目。此次会议由肯塔基大学的Karen Mingst、代顿大学的Margaret Karns、瑞典斯德哥尔摩大学的Bengt Sundelius和德国蒂宾根大学的Volker Rittberger共同组织。来自瑞典、英国、德国、荷兰和美国的高级和初级学者和学生将加入他们的行列。参加者是国际组织、外交政策分析、合作理论和欧洲共同体方面的专家。讲习班项目将采用共同组织者制定的共同概念框架，利用跨时间和跨国比较进行一套系统的、重点突出的案例研究。过去在一体化、机构发展和改革方面的努力是跨国官员和泛欧商业集团精英联盟的产物。最近阶段经历的困难表明国内利益集团和公民的影响。研究将使用三种国内社会变量和四种合作问题来考察推动、限制或抑制合作的国内因素。以往的合作理论在很大程度上将国家视为统一的行为体，忽略了国内政治与国际政治之间的相互作用。扩大欧洲共同体的努力已明显表明，国内支持是重要的，并受到若干变数的影响。本项目将通过研究国内支持的不同水平和模式如何影响合作过程的动态，推进合作理论的知识状态。组织者是国际研究协会（ISA）的积极成员，并参与了该协会最近为促进更大的国际学术互动与合作所作的努力。这个跨大西洋讲习班的部分目的是作为今后由isa赞助的讲习班的示范项目。＊＊＊

9311657 Mingst This award supports the participation of six U.S. social scientists in a workshop with European colleagues to plan a collaborative research project on the factors that affect national cooperation in European integration. The meeting is co-organized by Karen Mingst of the University of Kentucky, Margaret Karns of the University of Dayton, Bengt Sundelius of the University of Stockholm, Sweden and Volker Rittberger of the University of Tubingen, Germany. They will be joined by a small but diverse group of senior and junior scholars and students from Sweden, the UK, Germany, the Netherlands and the United States. The participants are specialists in international organizations, foreign policy analysis, theories of cooperation and the European Community. The workshop project will apply a common conceptual framework developed by the co-organizers for a set of systematic, focused case studies utilizing both cross-time and cross-national comparisons. Past efforts at integration and institutional development and reform have been products of an elite alliance of transnational officials and pan-European business groups. The difficulties experienced in more recent stages demonstrate the influence of domestic interest groups and citizens. The studies will use three types of domestic societal variables and four types of cooperation problems to examine the domestic factors propelling, constraining or inhibiting cooperation. Previous work in cooperation theory has largely treated states as unified actors and has ignored the interactions between domestic and international politics. Efforts to broaden the European Community have made it obvious that domestic support is important and is affected by a number of variables. This project will advance the state of knowledge in cooperation theory by examining how different levels and patterns of domestic support affect the dynamics of the cooperation process. The organizers are active members of the Internatio nal Studies Association (ISA), and are involved in its recent efforts to stimulate greater international scholarly interaction and cooperation. This transatlantic workshop is intended, in part, to serve as a demonstration project for future ISA-sponsored workshops. ***
