There is a widespread feeling that this crucial continent is at a major turning point in its history after the end of the Cold War and as the European Community moves the continent to an unprecedented level of integration. Only those with a background in the continent's history, sociology, politics, economy and culture will be equipped to understand the dynamics of the continent's current evolution.
Moreover, in recent times, European nations have developed in ways significantly different from the United States - for example, in developing much more fully the welfare state - providing useful evidence on which protagonists in policy debates in this country can draw. Understanding Europe helps illuminate issues in our society.
The role of the Center for European StudiesCES is dedicated to preparing a new generation of Americans to better understand the complexities and opportunities presented by a "New Europe."
CES brings together scholars from across the campus to investigate all aspects of Europe - from business to borders. The UW-Madison is home to 18 departments offering Europe-related courses and offers students the opportunity to study almost all European languages. CES links departments, courses, and people, and offers further stimulation through symposia, conferences, and guest speakers on a variety of topics concerning Europe.
