The second programme is gr:een (global reordering: evolving european networks), funded by Dg research eu Commission. This is an integrated research project including 16 universities on five continents. The remarkable quality of these senior and junior scholars included in the project allows extensive research both in eu studies and in global governance. Volumes in this series share innovative research objectives around globalisation, the eu’s evolution within it, the changing Multilateral cooperation, and the role of transnational networks; emergent multipolarity and international order; comparative regionalism and interregionalism; eu’s foreign policy and external relations. The series includes collaborative volumes, research based monographs and textbooks with the aim of contributing to the innovation of european integration and international studies.
