Message from the Director
2013 has been a watershed year. The Institute’s first two large projects have come to an end. The RECON (Reconstituting Democracy) project on welfare systems in Europe has completed its final three publications, one of which has been published as an issue of the Institute’s Journal and the other two ‘The Costs of Children’ and ‘The Changing Welfare State in Europe’ have been published by Edward Elgar, although copies of the second book will not be available in New Zealand until March 2014. URGE (University Reform, Globalisation and Europeanisation), which has been developed with Aarhus and Bristol universities has also had its final conference. However, these are replaced by two new collaborative research projects. The first, UNIKE (Universities in the Knowledge Economy) is a direct follow on to URGE but with a larger consortium run by Aarhus. The second, ‘The Future of Monetary and Financial Integration in Europe’, is an exciting collaboration in the University of Auckland between researchers in the Business School, the Department of Anthropology and the Division of European Languages and Literatures in the Faculty of Arts. This latter will look not just at the practical implications for the future but also at the social and cultural implications and in particular at the anxieties that what have been labelled as ‘austerity’ programmes have on people.
This year saw ‘Europe Day’ come to Auckland. At the behest of the EU delegation in Wellington, the Institute organised an afternoon of European films, music, opera, presentations, displays and a wine tasting and reception, all complemented with some stalls manned by local European cultural societies. This provided a welcome opportunity to present various aspects of the University’s work to a wider audience.
The Institute continued to receive a stream of distinguished guests. This time it was the turn of EU Commissioner Andris Piebalgs to visit us again and the EU Ambassador, David Daly, also came over from Canberra towards the end of the year. A particular highlight was the donation of a plaque commemorating the work Maria Sklodowska-Curie on the occasion of the 40-year celebration of Polish-New Zealand diplomatic relations. The plaque was unveiled by the Polish Ambassador, Beata Stoczyńska, just one of the interesting opportunities the Ambassador has brought to the University during her term of office.
We also benefitted from another new initiative. The EU Centres Network (EUCN) enabled us to bring Anatol Dutta from Hamburg to prepare and deliver a new course on European Commercial Litigation. This course, which is modular form, will be available to students in future years and illustrates how it is possible to draw on expertise from European scholars.
As always, finance remains a problem for the Institute. We had hoped to persuade the University that research relationship with Europe should be put on a parallel footing with that with Asia but we were not successful. We had hoped that the next five years would enable us to ratchet up our activity to a new level, with higher engagement not just with the academic community in Europe but with European business and cultural groups here in Auckland. As this annual report reveals, my colleagues continue to undertake valuable research on Europe and have ambitious plans for its development.
Hannah Brodsky has retired and Enrico Haemmerle has become Dean of Engineering at AUT—we wish them well. Major Projects
RECON (Reconstituting Democracy in Europe)
While the research programme has come to an end, the three remaining publications have appeared in 2013. Our part of RECON related to welfare. The first was a specific study illustrating the detail of the issues by David Mayes and Mark Thomson. We focused on the handling of the problems of balancing childcare and a career with a limited income in a book entitled ‘The Costs of Children’, discussed below. Second, several of the component studies for the project were published in an issue of the Europe Institute Journal, the titles of which are shown in the list of Institute’s publications. These involved almost all of the members of the team: Tess Altman, Christine Cheyne (Massey), Kate Lyons (Massey), David Mayes, Zaidah Mustaffa, Cris Shore and Mark Thomson. The final publication ‘The Changing Welfare State in Europe’ by the remaining member of the team, Anna Michalski, who is now at Uppsala University in Sweden, and David Mayes brings together all the themes of the programme of research. Since this book was only published on 27 December in the UK and will not be available in New Zealand until March 2014, its launch and its contents will be reviewed next year.
David Mayes is involved in two follow up projects with ARENA in the University of Oslo, which led RECON: one, EURODIV, explores the nature and consequences of the varying levels of cooperation and agreement that the response to the financial crisis has generated among the countries of Europe. These form part of a wider project on the development of monetary and financial union in Europe, for which Dr Giannoula Karamichailidou has joined the Institute. In September she presented a paper on ‘Problems with Banking Union’ at the joint Australian and New Zealand EU centres meeting in Canberra. This work will also contrast the arrangements in the EU with those between Australia and New Zealand. David Mayes presented a further paper on ‘The Financing of Banking Union’ at a conference in Tuebingen and has had an extended paper with Hanno Stremmel (WHU, Vallendar) who visited the Institute for six months in 2012 accepted for publication by SUERF, the European Money and Finance Forum.

URGE (University Reform, Globalisation and Europeanisation) is a multidisciplinary programme of knowledge exchange, examining how processes of regionalisation and globalisation are redefining the nature and scope of universities. Joining the Europe Institute are the Danish School of Education at Aarhus University in Denmark and the Graduate School of Education at the University of Bristol in the UK. URGE is funded by the European Union’s Framework 7 Marie Curie ‘International Research Staff Exchange Scheme’ and Erasmus mobility scheme, and by the New Zealand Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment.
Through a comparison between the regions of Europe and Australasia, especially New Zealand, URGE asks what is actually going on in apparently similar processes of university reform? Are processes of creating a European Higher Education Area not only preparing Europe for global competition but also acting as a model and motor for globalisation in other regions? How do academics engage with such processes of university reform? How are these processes affecting their conduct, their work, and their ideas of the very purpose of universities?
Starting in January 2010 and lasting for four years, URGE involves 19 staff from the three universities in a programme of visits designed to combine senior and junior researchers in research training, sharing knowledge and research development.
Under the URGE project, a symposium entitled, The University in 2Q30: Towards a new agenda was held in April, for 2 days, inviting external guest speakers including Jill Blackmore, Deakin University, Fazal Rizvi, Melbourne University, Michael Peters, Waikato University, Chris Tremewan, APRU, Susan Robertson, University of Bristol, Sue Wright, Aarhus University.
The University in 2Q30 explored the changing landscapes of global higher education, including how shifts within it have led to radical transformations in the University’s meaning and mission, the nature of knowledge production and its consumption, the development of new academic subjectivities, issues of equity and inclusion and new forms of discipline and control within the academy. Focusing on 2Q30 as a possible alternative reality, participants were challenged to imagine and materialise new projects and possibilites for democratising knowledge creation in the academy.
Activities during the Year
Summer School
Each year the Europe Institute together with the School of European Languages and Literatures (SELL) runs a summer school course on “European Integration: Critical Perspectives” (EUROPEAN 206/302). This cross-disciplinary six-week course attracts students primarily from the Faculty of Arts, notably students of Political Studies and History, as well as majors within SELL. The course examines political, economic, social and cultural integration in contemporary Europe; its team-taught format draws on the expertise of different contributors. We are particularly fortunate that Fraser Cameron, Director of the EU-Asia Institute in Brussels and long-time Commission official, comes to provide an up to date set of lectures in the course.
Graduate Weekend at Long Bay
The Institute organised the EUCN Research Workshop for graduate students of Europe from all New Zealand’s universities at the Long Bay retreat to the North of Auckland on 26-28 March. David Mayes and Peter Zámborský made presentation along with John Leslie (Victoria) and Natalia Chaban (Canterbury).
EU Commissioner Andris Piebalgs
In association with The Pacific Energy Summit, the EU Commissioner for development, Andris Piebalgs, was in New Zealand and the New Zealand Europe Business Council hosted a luncheon meeting on 25 March.
Book Launch: The Cost of Children
On 15 April, David Mayes (Accounting and Finance) and Mark Thomson (Research Fellow in the Europe Institute), the two authors of the book, made a presentation of a newly published book which discusses the cost of raising children, which is not just in terms of the money parents have to pay out at the time, but also the non-monetary opportunities they forgo and the costs they pay in later. While no one disputes the enormous benefits, it tends to be mothers who lose out, especially in the long-term. Welfare systems generally impose considerable restrictions, with different choices in a three-dimensional space defined by the relative importance of income, employment and inclusion in society. There is much debate over how far the state should get involved in such intimate family
7 decisions. There are no right answers here, but unpleasant decisions have to be made when resources are limited. Perhaps the most glaring observation is in the enormous range in people’s circumstances – divorce, death, moving home, finding new partners – that all alter the choices available. Whichever way we go, reducing the inequality mothers face is a priority both for them and for their children. The discussion was facilitated by Maureen Baker (Sociology) and Susan St-John (Economics) who spoke on inequity and childcare in New Zealand and Europe.
Dr Oliver Hartwich
The students of the economics group organised a presentation by Dr Oliver Hartwich, Executive Director of The New Zealand Initiative, on “The never- ending Euro crisis – anatomy of an economic policy disaster” on 2 May.
Europe Day
At the request of the EU Delegation in Wellington the Europe Institute at the University of Auckland organised a Europe Day celebration in Foyer of the Business School on the afternoon of Saturday May 11th. Although organised at short notice about 150 people came to an afternoon of films, music, presentations, displays, food and a wine tasting, all rounded off with a reception hosted by the Delegation.
Presentations at Foyer On arrival visitors had a Photo: Andreas Sturmbauer three-way choice. They could see the film A Whole Life Ahead (Tutta la vita davanti) directed by Paolo Virzi, courtesy of the Italian Film Festival and introduced by Bernadette Luciano, Deputy Dean of the Faculty of Arts and a well- known expert on Italian film. Music students’ quartet Photo: Andreas Sturmbauer Or, courtesy of the Goethe- Institut, they could see After the Fall (Nach dem Fall) a documentary directed by Eric Black and Aria Frauke Sandig, introduced by James Bade, Head of the School of European Languages and Literatures, among whose many publications ‘Fontane’s Landscapes’ gives an evocative contrast of Germany today and historically. Or they could enjoy the programme of presentations and music.
The music, covering a range of continental composers, was performed initially by a quartet of University of Auckland music students, Kuangda Liu violin, Lyndsay McDonald violin, Sophia Acheson viola and Francis Yoon cello, who continued to entertain into the start of the reception. They focused mainly on eighteenth and nineteenth century German music but including Handel. The highlight of the afternoon was a recital of operatic arias from Mozart, Bizet, Puccini, Verdi and Tchaikovsky performed by Richard Phillips, currently Research Fellow in the NZ Asia Institute, and accompanied on the piano by David Kelley from New Zealand Opera. His splendid tenor voice filled the building.
The presentations covered three aspects of research financed by the Europe Institute over the last couple of years. They began with Iain Buchanan from the Department of Art History who discussed Institutions of Wine Keeping Your Money Safe ‘The Social and Cultural Photo: Andreas Sturmbauer
Significance of Food’, based on paintings of sixteenth century Antwerp, archives and the buildings today painted a fascinating picture of life and conventions at the time. The second by David Mayes, Director of the Europe Institute, considered how an orderly end to the problems of Cyprus and the euro area could be achieved and its implications for bank deposits of New Zealanders under the title ‘Keeping Your Money Safe’. Finally Maureen Benson-Rea, leading light in setting up the Europe Institute, investigated ‘The Institutions Art History of Wine’, comparing the wine industry in Europe and New Zealand, showing in particular how they were learning from each other in promoting generic versus highly specific qualities.
By this stage all three streams of activity converged on the Foyer for a tasting of wines from the University of Auckland’s vineyard, Goldie, on Waiheke Island. Heinrich Storm, the winemaker, explained how three classic French grape varieties, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Syrah were adapted to the very different island climate an conditions to produce wines that compete with their
Goldie Wines distinguished European forebears in the European market. Photo: Andreas Sturmbauer The afternoon then moved to the reception where participants were able to enjoy the same wines against an array of matched canapés. The Chargé d’Affaires for the EU, Michalis Rokas gave a short speech on current and prospective mutual benefits from closer relationship that is developing between the EU and New Zealand. He focused particularly on the role
9
of Auckland, with its role in trade, investment, education and culture. David Mayes responded with the toast to Continuing Peace and Prosperity in Europe. The guests, including local MPs, members of the New Zealand Europe Business Council, the Auckland Council, the local European diplomatic community and those in the University and the city of Auckland interested in Europe lingered as the spirit of the Display of Nobel Prize poet Czeslaw Milosz occasion continued to light the darkness. Photo: Andreas Sturmbauer Throughout the afternoon the participants were able to enjoy a set of five displays, one by the Alliance Française and a second by the Dante Alighieri Society setting out the range of cultural and educational activities they support. A third, by the Europe Institute itself, showed its activities and publications and the role of the EU Centres Network in all New Zealand’s universities. However, pride of place went to the contributions from Austria and Poland. The Austrian Society not only came in local costume, with a vibrant display of the flags of all the nine states in the Federal Republic, but provided an afternoon long supply of home cooked Austrian favourites including two types of strudel and some Sachertorte. The Embassy of Poland with the assistance of the Polish Heritage Museum in Howick provided an extensive display of the work of the Nobel Prize winning poet Czeslaw Milosz, occupying the whole of one side of the Foyer.
Austria Symposium
With the support of the Austrian Embassy in Canberra and the Europe Institute, James Bade organised and chaired the Austria Symposium held on 12 July, which featured papers by three leading specialists on Austria in the Pacific. The keynote address was given by Professor Hermann Mueckler of the University of Vienna.
New Zealand Governance Centre: Anti-Corruption Performance Seminar: Transparency and Integrity
New Zealand, Denmark and Finland are jointly ranked number one in the world by Transparency International. This joint meeting held on 14 August with the NZ Governance Centre explored where there was still room for improvement in these top performers. The meeting was chaired by Sir Anand Satyanand, former Governor-General. Speakers included David Cunliffe, MP (Leader of the Opposition), Liz Brown (former Banking Ombudsman), Phil O’Reilly (Business New Zealand), Suzanne Snively (Transparency International), Alex Matheson, Richard Northey and Patrick Smellie.
Discussion with H.E. Ambassador David Daly
H.E. David Daly was the Ambassador and Head of the Delegation of the European Union to Australia and to New Zealand since 2009. To bid farewell before taking up his new post, he shared his first hand experiences in dealing with New Zealand at this crucial time of economic turmoil from the perspective of the EU, entitled “Reflections on the EU, the Current Economic Situation and the EU as a Global Partner” on 21 August.
Europe Institute Journal Award Ceremony
To provide opportunities for young scholars, the Europe Institute introduced a prize in 2013 with a cash award of $500 each year for the best article published on the Europe Institute Journal. The first recipient of the award was given to Mark Thomson (centre), who is an Europe Institute Research Follow for his work on “Democracy, Inclusion, and the Governance of Active Social Policies: Recent Lessons from Denmark, the UK and France (on Vol. 6, No. 1, Part 2) in October. The prize was awarded by Michalis Rokas the Chargé d'Affaires (left).
Prof Donald Dingwall, ERC
Members of the Europe Institute attended a public presentation by Prof Donald Dingwall from the European Research Council (http://erc.europa.eu) on 1 October and held a Roundtable discussion meeting with the ERC delegation on 2 October. The ERC supports excellence in frontier research through a bottom-up, individual-based, pan-European competition. It has a budget of € 7.5billion (2007-2013) - 1.1 billion €/year on average. Prof Dingwall presented the work of the ERC and the FP7 IDEAS Programme and was accompanied by Dr Gordana Popovic, Research Programme Agent, Scientific Affairs Unit, and Dr Gemma Solomon of the University of Copenhagen, an ERC grantee.
Université Jean Moulin Lyon 3
On Monday 7 October the Institute hosted a visit, jointly with the Department of Management and International Business, of a senior delegation from a major partner university in France, Université Jean Moulin Lyon 3. The Lyon team was made up of Prof Jérôme Rive, Dean of the Business School, Prof Denis Jamet, Dean of the Language Faculty, and Dr Sophie Véron, Administrative Program Coordinator for English-speaking Programmes.
11
The Europe Institute was represented by David Mayes and Maureen Benson-Rea, also of the Department of Management and International Business (MIB), and Head of the MIB department, Nigel Haworth. Both Benson-Rea and Haworth have research links with universities in France. At a Roundtable, the discussion focused on European perspectives on International Business, after a research presentation by Professor Rive. The meeting also discussed exchanges and programme and research developments at both universities.
In addition to the Roundtable, the Lyon Delegation also met with the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Strategic Engagement), Prof Jennifer Dixon, and the Faculty of Arts.
EUCN European-in-Residence for 2013
Also in October, Professor Stefan Lehne was chosen for the annual EUCN European-in-Residence for 2013. Professor Lehne (previously of the Austrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs) is a visiting scholar at Carnegie Europe in Brussels, where he researches the post–Lisbon Treaty development of the European Union’s foreign policy with a specific focus on relations between the EU and the member states. James Bade chaired a 90-minute seminar given by Professor Lehne on ‘European Union Expansion and the Question of Turkey’ on 31 October 2013. Professor Lehne also held a Roundtable discussion with members of the New Zealand-Europe Business Council, chaired by Tony Andrew and organised by Maureen Benson-Rea for the Europe Institute.
International Symposium of the European and Asia-Pacific Social Science Network “Economic Revitalization in the Asia-Pacific Region and Europe”
David Mayes participated in a large international meeting on October 29, held at Hitotsubashi University in Tokyo on behalf of the University to put together a programme of cooperation in the social sciences, including an Erasmus Mundus network.

Polish Plaque Unveiling Ceremony
Unveiling of a plaque in honour of Marie Skłodowska-Curie by Ambassador of the Republic of Poland, Beata Stoczyńska was held on 18th November. Poland and New Zealand celebrated the 40th Anniversary of diplomatic relations in 2013. Both countries have maintained friendly relations for many years and share common values of democracy, respect for human rights and good governance. The Polish Embassy identified 10 places in New Zealand, where directly, indirectly or symbolically, connected to 10 significant Polish people, which is called “Polish Trails in New Zealand” Project. The Europe Institute was one of such recipients with its close relationship with the Polish Embassy in New Zealand. A plaque dedicated for Marie Skłodowska-Curie, who was a well-known physicist and chemist and a recipient of the Nobel Prize in Physics 1903 was given to the University and its unveiling ceremony took place on 18 November. The Europe Union has named a major research fund after her. The Institute obtained a grant from this fund on the URGE (University Reform, Globalisation and Europeanisation) project.
Visit of the Minister of Trade Alexander Stubb
Alexander Stubb, Minister for Foreign Trade and Europe in Finland visited the Institute and the Business School with a trade delegation in November. Presentations were made by Will Charles on the work of UniServices, Geoff Whitcher and Darsel Keane on Spark and the Icehouse. Basil Sharp on Energy and the Environment and David Mayes on the Institute. This was followed by a very interesting and thoughtful public lecture by Stubb on his view of Finland and Europe, memorable particularly for his description of Finland’s high tech products as ‘Finland -- even cooler than you thought”. The day finished with a reception. The Finnish Honorary Consulate General, Ari Hallenberg reported after the meeting that all of the trade delegation had successfully concluded deals with New Zealand companies during the visit.
Russian Book Launch
Russian-speaking migrants achieved success in various walks of life: education and culture, science and business, sports and medicine, social and community work. They have integrated into the New Zealand society while preserving their cultural and linguistic heritage. The book brings to light interesting facts and stories about the Russian-speaking community in New Zealand from first migrants who came in early last century until our days. To commemorate the publication of their historical achievements in New Zealand, a book launch was held in December opened by H.E. Valery Tereschenko, the Ambassador of the Russian Federation to New Zealand, followed by Russian music and dance.

Visitors
We hosted three researchers during 2013. Anatol Dutta (Max Planck, Hamburg), Katja Mäkinen (Jyväskylä) and Veronika Karlsson (Oslo).
Katja Mäkinen (University of Jyväskylä)
Katja from the University of Jyväskylä visited the Institute for six months following the completion of her doctorate on ‘The construction of citizenship in EU documents on citizenship and culture’, to begin a new project on ‘Spaces and cultures of participation in EU programmes’, which is part of a larger piece of work on the politics of participation and democratic legitimation in the European Union. Citizens’ participation is an important element of democracy. On 5 March she gave a presentation based upon her research: In the name of Europe: European citizenship in EU Documents In the name of Europe: European citizenship in EU Documents The EU has been criticised for its democracy deficit, and is often perceived as a distant bureaucracy by the citizens, which is a problem for both the EU-administration and the citizens. Due to the finance crisis, the legitimacy of the EU has become still weaker. The solutions for these problems are often sought in EU-structures or in identity. The experiences of the participants of the EU programmes open up a new perspective to EU-integration and the democracy and legitimacy of it. Integration has proceeded as a project of the member states and the elites, but during the process, it has been suggested that citizens should become the core of the integration. The aim to "bring the citizens closer to the European Union" has been repeated. Citizens' participation in citizenship and culture programmes is seen as a way to enhance this proximity. Studying the participants' experiences may reveal how these aims are met and what kind of relations the participants themselves create to the EU. She has completed a paper for the Institute’s Journal.
EUCN Visiting Fellow 2013: Dr Anatol Dutta
Dr Anatol Dutta, a senior research fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Comparative and Private International Law in Hamburg, visited the Europe Institute and Faculty of Law from 24 March to 6 April as the EUCN Visiting Fellow. His areas of specialisation include private law, private international law, comparative law, the law of civil procedure, commercial law and public international law.
The purpose of Dr Dutta’s visit to the University of Auckland was to add new course content to an existing LLB elective course, European Commercial Litigation. This elective was established at the University of Auckland in the Faculty of Law over the last three years
Dr Dutta presented a public seminar during his stay at the University of Auckland. The seminar formed part of the Europe Institute seminar series and was titled: “Europeanisation and the Law” on 4 April. In his seminar he focused on the legal and constitutional aspects of Europeanisation, as well as the political challenges within the EU and the tensions between certain Member States. He paid particular attention to the Europeanisation of private international law as a model of a European private law.
Veronika Karlson
Veronika from the University of Oslo spent the whole of 2013 in the Institute as a visiting research fellow working on the relationship between Norway and the EU and Russia. She completed a paper ‘Found in Translation: The principle of human rights, democracy and the role of law in the EU’s foreign policy toward Russia’. This visit was organised jointly with the Medical School, which her husband, a paediatric surgical fellow, visited during the same period.

Research Grants
In order to encourage research on Europe, the Institute makes a number of small grants to help start off new projects and bring projects to publication. The Institute made three such grants in 2013.
Ben Fath and Antje Fiedler, Research Fellows at the New Zealand Asia Institute, was awarded a grant for their research project on the European Company legislation. They have interviewed managers, board level representatives of European companies and trade union officials to study how the European Union’s regulations on the SE (Societas Europeas or European Company) affects company culture and worker participation. The grant will be used for the transcription of the voluminous interviews.
Gwyn Fox, lecturer at the Spanish Department, also was awarded a grant which will be used toward translation of a book chapter, entitled “Family Lyrics” which contributes to a selection of the book Ashgate Research Companion to Early Modern Spanish Women Writers.
Lastly, a first year PhD student of the Department of German and Slavonic Studies, Kasia Cook, used the grant to support her travel to Europe for her research on German-Tongan diaspora.

Ioanna Karamichailidou
Ioanna has been working as a Research Fellow at the Europe Institute since December 2013. Currently, her research is focusing on developing plausible recovery/resolution plans for Systemically Important Financial Institutions in Europe – a project conducted jointly with Professor David Mayes. Recent banking and sovereign debt crises in EU have revealed the legal, regulatory, supervisory, and institutional weaknesses in handling failures of systemically important cross-border banks without damaging the real economy. Thus, the main objective of the project is to provide alternative solutions to the recovery/resolution challenges of cross-border banks in Europe combining law and economics. Ioanna did her PhD studies in the Department of Accounting & Finance at the University of Auckland. She will be awarded her degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Finance May 2014.
