Research & publications

New book 

 Transatlantic Relations: Challenge and Resilience - 1st Edition - Dona (routledge.com)

 

The College of Europe publishes a series of research papers and policy briefs dedicated to the analysis of European Union affairs from multiple disciplinary perspectives. They offer platforms for debate to visiting professors, staff and students as well as external contributors. A certain number of these publications are related to transatlantic affairs and therefore of direct relevance to the Master of Arts in Transatlantic Affairs.

The academic staff of the College of Europe also regularly publishes on topics of transatlantic relevance.
