Full Description
In this seminar, our speakers examine how far and under what conditions experimentalist governance (XG), defined as a recursive process of provisional goal setting and revision, based on comparative review of implementation in different local contexts, may be an effective and legitimate means of responding to diversity among EU member states, in comparison both to conventional uniform regulation (UR) and to differentiated integration (DI).

Full Description
The relationship between corruption and migration has received very little scholarly attention until now. This talk will cover at least 10 ways in which migration and corruption can be interlinked. These linkages can be neutral, positive or negative. Migration can affect corruption but corruption can also affect migration.
The existing research can be broadly divided into three parts: First, it examines how corruption influences the decision of individuals to migrate. Second, it analyses how corruption facilitates (irregular) migration, including human trafficking and smuggling. Third, several studies investigate how migration and the sending of remittances influence levels of corruption in the country of origin. This talk will examine these areas and more both theoretically and in practice.
