This seminar has been cancelled.
We would have liked to adress the next topics:

• History and development of the European Free Trade Agreement.
• Does economic integration cause political integration, and how does this affect the common understanding of identity? What has accelerated the development – the elite or the people?
• Challenges “Europe a la carte”; established by different understandings of identity or political (or other) differences. Concerns of democracy in this field.
• What other motives except for economical benefits accelerate the political integration – are these fields directly affected by economical integration (like social ones), or are there other interests?
• What structures should the European Union apply for those members who only would like to share a common market? Would this be possible – or at least recommended to do (like the example of Switzerland)?
