on 'Managing the European Union'
Individuals who have played a prominent role in the development of the European Union in recent years will be featured in a new lecture series being launched this week.
"Managing the European Union: A View from the Inside" is sponsored by the Council for European Studies and the Program on European Union Studies, part of the Yale Center for International and Area Studies.
The series will look at the European political practices from the perspective of those who are or have been in charge of European affairs in three main institutions: the Council, the Commission and the Parliament.
