Given the many important consequences of policy complexity within the context of the European Union (EU), the question of how we best go about measuring it arises. Roman Senninger points out shortcomings of existing approaches and advocates a new measurement of policy complexity utilizing the text of recitals and humans' ability to understand text.
The New Research on Europe Seminar serves as a weekly forum in which CES Visiting Scholars present their work. Scholars present their work in a form accessible to scholars working in fields other than their own. Papers may be circulated in advance, although this is not required.
The seminar encourages discussions across disciplinary as well as national boundaries. After each presentation, there is ample time for critique and discussion, followed by the CES Friday Lunch. This seminar is open to the public.
