European Union Studies Association Update

The European Union Studies Association (EUSA) is the premier scholarly and professional association focusing on the European Union, the ongoing integration process, and transatlantic relations. Founded in 1988, EUSA now has almost 1000 members throughout North America, all EU member states, and on all continents, representing the social sciences, the humanities, business and law practitioners, news media, and governments on both sides of the Atlantic.  Administrative offices of EUSA are located in the University Center for International Studies at the University of Pittsburgh.

During the organization’s 14th Biennial Conference held 5-7 March in Boston, the Economics Interest Section of EUSA elected Professor David L. Cleeton of Illinois State University to a four-year term as Co-Chair.  In addition to serving as professor and department chair of the economics department at Illinois State University, Prof. Cleeton holds an affiliated faculty position at the European Union Center of Excellence at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.  Dr. Cleeton is also currently mid-way through a four-year term as Co-Chair of the Political Economy Interest Section of EUSA.
