"Redefining Europe "
Third Global Conference
"Redefining Europe - Who are Europeans?"
North Cyprus
The American University of Cyprus - Girne American University
The third conference on Redefining Europe will be held on the beautiful campus of Girne American University (www.gau.edu.tr). The campus facilities including housing will be made available to the attendees for free.
Over the past few years, the European Union has been inching toward a very large expansion: in 2004, 10 countries joined the Union.

In parallel to all the structural, economic and political changes occurring within the EU and to better understand these changes, the Ashburn Institute is organizing a series of global conferences entitled "Redefining Europe" aimed at reflecting on the issues arising from the EU expansion.
The theme of the series -Redefining Europe- reflects a very unique approach to European Union enlargement issues from a Euro-Atlantic prospective. What makes this series even more attractive is that it brings the United States specifically into the mix of Eastern and Western Europe in an attempt to understand the tectonic forces currently causing a geopolitical drift.
