The Center for the Study of Europe<\/a>\u00a0(CSE)<\/span>, an affiliated regional center at the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University, hosted a March 28, 2019 talk with\u00a0Kaija Schilde<\/a>, Pardee School Assistant\u00a0Professor of International Relations, as part of the Works in Progress Series.<\/span><\/p>\n

Schilde gave a talk entitled “Explaining EU Asymmetry: A Comparison of Borders and Asylum Policy Development,” that focused on why the EU coordinates on some policies but not others.<\/p>\n

She began by\u00a0recognizing lack of coordination or harmonization not as a failure or aberration, but as a feature, and by reconsidering\u00a0the EU\u00a0as\u00a0a political context\u00a0of\u00a0asymmetry\u00a0and dynamism, where policy stasis can be imperfect, differentiated, ongoing and interdependent.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Schilde also examined the\u00a0uneven development\u00a0of\u00a0comparable policies complicating\u00a0national\u00a0sovereignty\u00a0to\u00a0consider what type of\u00a0ex ante\u00a0theorization could characterize the EU\u2019s policy landscape not as problematic or malfunctional, but as equilibrium,\u00a0defined by\u00a0stable asymmetry and bifurcated agency.\u00a0She considered three dimensions of asymmetry: power, temporal, and interests. <\/span><\/p>\n

By aligning comparative and IR theory, Schilde identified the nexus of these asymmetries as accounting for bifurcated migration policy through comparative case study analysis.\u00a0Extrapolating from migration as a representative policy area, she\u00a0suggested a dynamic asymmetry approach\u00a0explains\u00a0uneven\u00a0and arrested political development of the EU\u00a0as purposeful and enduring.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kaija E.\u00a0Schilde<\/a>\u00a0is\u00a0Assistant Professor at the Boston University Pardee School of Global Studies. Her primary research interests involve the political economy of security and transatlantic security. Her book,\u00a0<\/span>The Political Economy of European Security<\/em>\u00a0(<\/span>Cambridge\u00a0<\/span>University Press, 2017) investigates the state-society relations between the EU and interest groups, with a particular focus on security and defense institutions, industries, and markets.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The mission of the\u00a0<\/span>Center for the Study of Europe<\/a>\u00a0is to promote understanding of Europe through its cultural heritage; its political, economic, and religious histories; its art, literature, music, and philosophy; as well as through its recent emergence as a new kind of international form through the European Union (EU).\u00a0 Operationally, the center provides a focal point and institutional support for the study of Europe across Boston University through coordination of teaching missions, support of research, community-building among faculty and students, and outreach beyond the University.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
