The UACES-Thomson Reuters ‘Reporting Europe’ Prize 2010 honours excellence in reporting on the European Union in the English-speaking media during 2009.
James Kanter, accepting the 2009 prize
Many in the press may be unaware of the impact they have upon the academic community, and the existence of UACES as an extensive, non-partisan and institutionally neutral association of expertise on European issues. The 2010 UACES-Thomson Reuters ‘Reporting Europe’ Prize acknowledges high quality, informed journalism on any aspect of the EU from either a positive or critical perspective during 2009.
The Prize, which is worth £500, is awarded annually to an individual journalist for a single piece of work, or a series of pieces, which are judged to be of outstanding quality. Any English-language print, radio, television or blog entry by a single author will be accepted. Where the material nominated is under 1000 words, a series of related pieces should be submitted.
The deadline for nominations is 8 February 2010.
For further details, and to download a nomination form, please visit the UACES website.

EUMS Foreign Policy | 10:23, 23 September 2009
This paper examines the EU’s role in the emergence of International Development Policy in the ten member states from Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). Development policy provides useful insights into policy-making as it is a key way that states operationalise their foreign policy. Thus, development policy gives us insights into the foreign policy priorities of the new member states. This paper examines to what extent have new member states embraced the spirit of the acquis as well as the letter? To what extent were the obligations of membership clearly spelt out during the accession process? What factors hinder new member states from taking on board the acquis in this field more fully? Does the EU conditionality have less impact in areas where the EU acquis is less communitaire and more intergovernmental? This paper therefore reviews the current state of play in the NMS to see how far we have witnessed the Europeanization of Development Cooperation in CEE states.
