College of Europe – Arenberg European Prize: Unions, Communities, Federations and Citizens

Aim

How do peoples and countries come together to form shared communities of citizens? What lessons can be learned from such unions for the process of European integration? The College of Europe – Arenberg European Prize is awarded to an outstanding contribution in history, the humanities or the social sciences, which, using historical and/or comparative analysis, explores the principles and workings of unions, communities or federations, and applies them to questions of European integration. The monetary value of the College of Europe – Arenberg European Prize is EUR 5.000,-.

The aim of the College of Europe – Arenberg European Prize is to single out an original work in history, economics, law, sociology, political science, international relations, or a combination of two or more of these disciplines. The winning work will offer a critical analysis of and a fresh and original approach to key challenges faced by Europe and Europeans in the present and future. It will be grounded in the historical and/or comparative study of unions and/or communities of citizens, peoples and/or countries who have been brought together for a common purpose. These can include, but are not limited to, various federal solutions proposed or reached either in the past, or elsewhere in today’s world.
