About EFTA-Studies.org

​

What is EFTA-Studies.org?

EFTA-Studies.org is an academic and journalistic forum of debate on the EFTA countries and their relations with the EU. The website seeks to promote the exchange between researchers from the different EFTA countries as well as between academia, media and politics.

​

What is it about?

The four EFTA countries Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland have close relationship with the EU. The academic and political interest in the EFTA countries and their relations with the EU has increased significantly in recent years. Indeed, a close examination of the EFTA countries' relations with the EU offers important conclusions about the causes of differentiated integration as well as the functioning and consequences thereof.

 

The website EFTA-Studies.org shall provide a central information platform on the relations between the individual EFTA states and the EU, which contains information on the most relevant institutions and procedures, but also comments current developments such as political and legal challenges.

​
