EIoP is a peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary E-journal in the field of European integration research. Scholarly contributions from all relevant disciplines are welcome, e.g. from legal studies, political science, economics, sociology, and history."European integration research" is to be understood in a broad sense. The following hints are intended to circumscribe what we mean by "European integration research":*legislative and political processes of the EU and its institutions;*subjects dealing with the growing together of the European states and peoples;*comparisons between policies, societies or legal systems between at least two European states;*effects of European integration on the member states;*policies and activities of other European international institutions (Council of Europe, OECD, etc.);*common policies of the European states vis-à-vis third countries or other supranational/international institutions.
