Paper series: The future of the European Union. Lessons from comparative federalism
In preparation of each DAFEUS conference, DAFEUS members prepared a working paper that introduced the participants and the interested public into the event's topic and main questions:
- Johannes Müller Gómez: Still sui generis? The comparative turn in European Union studies
- S. Christian Raphael: Democracy in a multilevel system. The EU and Canada compared
The DAFEUS policy labs served to discussed how the EU can be made more efficient, effective and democratic:
- Tobias Kunstein: Debating the EU’s challenges and possible solutions
- Magda Stummvoll & Alexandre Portes: How to make the Union more democratic
- Hartmut Marhold: Federalism as a Solution to the Evolution of Centrifugal Forces in Western Societies
The main arguments and findings of the DAFEUS conferences have been summarised in detailed conference reports:
- Lisa-Marie Hammelrath, Christian Raphael, Darius Ribbe & Belkis Tuncer: The future of the European Union. Comparative experiences from federal systems
- Fulden Eskidelvan, Tobias Kunstein, Alice-Anna Oeter, Moritz Rau, Darius Ribbe, Steffen Schönhaar & Thomas Traguth: The future of the European Union Democracy in a multi-level and multi-national system
