Egmont Papers

Presentation

In 2004, the Institute launched the Egmont Papers, a new series of in-house issue papers, presenting the result of original research undertaken in the framework of Egmont. The Egmont Papers are edited under the direction of Sven Biscop and published by Academia Press, in Ghent.
The Egmont Papers aim at providing food for thought on current issues in international politics, from a Belgian and a European Union perspective. Special attention is being devoted to European integration, the European Union as an international and security actor, and global governance.
