This conference with the topic "Europe’s Global Challenges: Society, Politics, Markets" will provide a platform for discussing the internal crisis of the project of European integration in relation to the global challenges, which European societies are currently facing. The conference seeks to examine the role of political sociology as a discipline that can enhance the understanding of ever more complex relationships between (nation) states, supranational institutions and (trans)national society. Further, it sets out to develop a more thorough understanding of the consequences of crises for state-society relations in a comparative perspective and in relation to the project of European integration.
