Aim and Purpose

The Hanseatic Baltic Summer School (HBSS) is an intensive one week summer programme. This year the summer school focuses on the role of the EU in the international security order. The underlying concern of the summer school is to analyse various models for the EU's international role. The EU has already achieved the status of a great economic power which is able to challenge the economic hegemony of the USA. However, in military terms, it has to be considered as relatively weak lacking any common political will. Should Europe concentrate its energies to develop strong defence and strategic capabilities independent from the USA and NATO? Or is the strength of Europe rather to be found in the cultural sector, namely to shape international moral and legal standards? Thus, the question of Europe as a economic, military, or normative power represents the major research focus of the lectures and workshops.

The summer school covers the following topics: models for the CFSP, ESDP, transatlantic relations, EU and NATO, OSCE, terrorism, Europe and Middle East peace process, relations with eastern Europe etc.

The Summer School is open to researchers and advanced students who are working in the social sciences (economics and political science) and law. Preference will be given to students at the end of their studies or beginning of their PhD.

In response to an increasing demand for post-graduate training in Europe, HAUS RISSEN HAMBURG and the Centre for European Peace and Security Studies offer a Summer School to promote the Europeanisation of social science teaching and research skills. In particular, it aims to strengthen the co-operation between Western-, Central-, and Eastern European researchers and universities. The HBSS facilitates individual contacts between university departments and other research institutions to improve student mobility and to share teaching resources.
