Third Issue of the Young Journal of European Affairs (2023)

The third issue of the YJEA (2023) starts with an interview with Prof Dr Jeremy Richardson, founder and co-editor of the Journal of European Public Policy (JEPP). He shares his insightful experiences from decades of academic publishing and gives advice for young authors who want to get published. Furthermore, this issue consists of three elaborate student research articles. The first paper by Eduard-Alex Ciuhandu centres around the influence of state expenditure and political ideology on inequality in EU countries. Our second contribution by Jonas Engel investigates how the introduction of the Euro as a currency has impacted welfare state generosity. In the third article, Johanna Greiwe analyses the migration crisis through the lens of crisisification. Feel free to support our initiative by sharing this issue with your friends and colleagues or on social media.

First Issue of the Young Journal of European Affairs (2021)

In this very first issue of the Young Journal of European Affairs (YJEA), it was our pleasure to publish an interview with Dr Fabian Zuleeg, Chief Executive and Chief Economist of the European Policy Centre (EPC), one of the leading think tanks in Brussels. He spoke about his work both as the head of a think tank but also as a policy advisor to high-ranking political figures in the EU. This interview is a must-read if you are interested in careers in think tanks and are looking at how to get a foot in the door. Four outstanding papers completed the first edition, including an analysis of the EU’s normative foreign policy formulation and implementation in response to the Iranian Nuclear Programm in 2003 by Mostafa Bostani, a comparison of attitudes towards EU integration between EU citizens within and outside their countries of origin by Marc Friedli, an article examining how the formation and the functioning of informal leadership coalitions in EU foreign policy can be explained by Stephan Naumann, and finally, a study enquiring the success of EU democratisation efforts and participation instruments among youth in Tunisia by Philipp Wagner.
