The European Union and North America: Lessons Learned
Tuesday, November 25th, 2008, Arizona State University

Special guest, Christof Roos, joined us from Bremen, Germany. Mr. Roos studies Border Regime Change and the Mobility of Persons at the University of Bremen. Additionally, faculty from ASU were present from the economics and history departments for a fruitful and provocative discussion about the EU community and what North America can learn from it.
