• Minutes of the CHALLENGE Training school : Migration, Visas and Asylum: Social, legal, political and economic issues

  15 July 2008, by Carrapiço Helena, Faure Atger Anaïs, Mir Miriam
  Since Maastricht, the issue of a common EU policy on the movement of third-country nationals into and across the EU has made its way steadily up the political agenda. The issue finds itself high on the priority lists of nearly all EU Council presidencies and forms part of the Strategic Objectives of the Barroso Commission. Yet the ‘migration dossier’ is highly complex as it comprises a considerable number of different facets, making it nearly impossible to find a «one size fits all» approach.

• Proceedings of the Conference : The Lisbon Treaty and the Changing Landscape of Liberty and Security

  14 April 2008, by Carrapiço Helena, Faure Atger Anaïs, Mir Miriam
  On 13 December 2007 the Lisbon Treaty was signed. Aspects related to the area of freedom, security and justice (AFSJ) will be among the policies most affected by the Reform Treaty. This policy field has been notorious for its inability to respond to its specific challenges under the existing institutional framework and substantial reform been considered urgent. Yet, exactly what will the new setting bring to the area of freedom, security and justice? Will it properly address the weaknesses and flaws of the current framework? In short: Which will be Lisbon’s contribution in the creation of the AFSJ?

• Research Conference : Intelligence, borders and surveillance, April 21st, 2008

  14 April 2008, by Challenge French Team
  The fight against terrorism has led to multiple transformations of the state’s security apparatuses – with a priority now given to intelligence -, as well as of the very logics that have historically underpinned the concept of «security» – with the now prevailing logic of anticipation.

• Séminaire de recherche : Renseignement, frontières et surveillance, 21 avril 2008

  14 avril 2008, par Challenge French Team
  La lutte contre le « terrorisme » est aujourd’hui le lieu de multiples transformations des appareils de sécurité des Etats – avec une prééminence désormais donnée au renseignement –, ainsi que d’une importante redéfinition des logiques et des distinctions ayant historiquement prévalues en matière de sécurité – avec ici une logique d’anticipation du danger et des menace.

• 5th CHALLENGE Training School : Migration, Visas & Asylum: Social, Legal and Political Issues (18 & 19 April 2008)

  31 March 2008, by Centre for European Policy Studies
  The Training School will address the social, legal and political issues comprised in the construction of a common EU Immigration and Asylum Policy. The ‘migration dossier’ is highly complex as it comprises a considerable number of different facets. Therefore, the Training school seeks to focus on the various issues and questions related to «migrations» from an interdisciplinary and comparative perspective. This event brings together young researchers to deepen and widen their knowledge on the issues at stake along with key academics and policy makers

• Seminar Report : Antiterrorism, Risk and Intelligence-led Logics

  4 February 2008, by Bonditti Philippe
  The seminar aimed at prolonging the very stimulating discussions initiated in the two previous seminars organized under the COST Action 24 on the issue of « Security, Technologies of Risk, and the Political ». It also aimed at injecting in the debate an analysis of the Intelligence-led logics discussed within the Challenge Programme. If each of the antiterrorism, risk and intelligence perspectives are relatively well explored, discussed and documented, these three aspects of the contemporary dominant security approach are too rarely explored all together.

• Conference Proceedings : Managing Threats? Citizens and disasters abroad – EU policy responses

  4 February 2008, by Centre for European Policy Studies, Geyer Florian , Mir Miriam
  The right to diplomatic and consular protection of EU citizens on the one hand and the concept and practices of EU civil protection on the other are two areas of EU policy which are rarely brought together. Substantially and institutionally different legal regimes govern these fields. Yet, crisis situations and disasters outside EU borders, like the Tsunami in South-East Asia in 2004 or the Lebanon crisis in 2006 have highlighted the close link that exists between providing assistance to third countries and at the same time protecting EU citizens and their families in these third countries.
