  Crisis, Ideas and Policy Transformation

  Experts and Expertise in European International Organizations, 1973-1987

  Crisis and crisis experience were central to Western European history between the first oil crisis of 1973 and the coming into force of the Single European Act in 1987. European international organizations (IOs) such as the OECD or the EC played a crucial role in debating and addressing manifold dimensions of crisis, shifting discourses and transforming policies at national and European level. These IOs drew heavily on experts and their expertise in managing crisis and seeking solutions for structural problems. Organized jointly by the University of Portsmouth and Maastricht University, the workshop will investigate the diversity of experts and expertise cultures and analyze in comparative perspective different European sectors and policy fields. We invite paper proposals addressing the role of experts in European IOs, or advising them, in debating and managing crisis, diffusing ideas and transforming policies in the 1970s and 1980s.

Fresh empirical analysis will provide new insights into this phase of East-West relations, offering a major laboratory to explore the actors, mechanisms, tools, ideas, and purposes of overseas cultural contacts.
