This biannual conference is the best occasion for scholars of Europe and European Union from Europe and North America to share work with their colleagues and discuss new projects. This time, Mila Mikalay presented two papers, focusing on the under-studied dimension of EU-Russia relations \u2013 parliamentary discourse on Russia\u2019s place in Europe and their \u201cshared neighborhood\u201d (Moldova, Armenia, Ukraine, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Parliaments remain a key institution in democracies and autocracies, that is however often misunderstood by European studies and international relations scholars. After all, even the Habsburg empire had a parliament, which provided political and narrative space for the emperor\u2019s decision-making, as the discussant of one panel noted. The funding for the conference participation was generously provided by the University College Freiburg.<\/p>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"795\" src=\"https:\/\/uni-freiburg.de\/ucf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/Mila-at-EUSA-1024x795.jpg\" alt=\"Mila Mikalay giving a presentation at EUSA conference in Philadelphia\" class=\"wp-image-9125 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uni-freiburg.de\/ucf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/Mila-at-EUSA-1024x795.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/uni-freiburg.de\/ucf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/Mila-at-EUSA-300x233.jpg 300w, https:\/\/uni-freiburg.de\/ucf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/Mila-at-EUSA-768x596.jpg 768w, https:\/\/uni-freiburg.de\/ucf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/Mila-at-EUSA.jpg 1171w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-7387b849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/uni-freiburg.de\/ucf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/Philadelphia-1-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Picture of Philadelphia City Hall\" class=\"wp-image-9129\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uni-freiburg.de\/ucf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/Philadelphia-1-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/uni-freiburg.de\/ucf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/Philadelphia-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/uni-freiburg.de\/ucf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/Philadelphia-1.jpg 954w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/uni-freiburg.de\/ucf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/group-photo-EUSA-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9128\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uni-freiburg.de\/ucf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/group-photo-EUSA-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/uni-freiburg.de\/ucf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/group-photo-EUSA-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/uni-freiburg.de\/ucf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/group-photo-EUSA-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/uni-freiburg.de\/ucf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/group-photo-EUSA.jpg 1085w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"769\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/uni-freiburg.de\/ucf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/Philadelphia-2-769x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Philadelphia Pennsylvania Tempel\" class=\"wp-image-9127\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uni-freiburg.de\/ucf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/Philadelphia-2-769x1024.jpg 769w, https:\/\/uni-freiburg.de\/ucf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/Philadelphia-2-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/uni-freiburg.de\/ucf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/Philadelphia-2-768x1023.jpg 768w, https:\/\/uni-freiburg.de\/ucf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/Philadelphia-2.jpg 888w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 769px) 100vw, 769px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UCF Governance lecturer, Dr. Mila Mikalay, presented her latest research on Russian foreign policy at the European Union Studies Association conference, May 8-11 in Philadelphia, PA.
