The Chania Forum tries to build upon the foundations laid by the two previous fora in Oxford (June 2011) and Nottingham (March 2012). The Oxford Forum focused on Greece’s multifaceted crisis (economic, political and social). The Nottingham Forum tried to examine the Greek crisis in its European context. The aim of the Chania Forum is threefold: - Firstly, to introduce a comparative dimension by looking at the crisis narratives in various EU countries (both from the European South and North); - Secondly, to establish bridges between the parallel narratives/discourses that take place at the national and European level; - Thirdly, to examine the ongoing challenges of EU integration in a global context; - Lastly, to synthesize.
