 The investigation of intergovernmental relations (IGR) and multi-level governance (MLG) issues is a growing field of research as well as policy concern. There seem to be significant differences in the approaches and the "cognitive maps" employed for the study of this field in the US and the European academic communities. The rationale for the initiative of promoting a Trans-Atlantic Dialogue Conference is the assumption that there is a need for a major scientific conference on "the status of intergovernmental relations and multi-level governance". |
 At the core of the conference are six workshops, jointly chaired by American and European convenors. Participants in workshops are expected to subscribe to one workshop, prepare a paper, and actively participate to the sessions.
