Introduction
The Manchester Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence, a partnership between the University of Manchester and Manchester Metropolitan University, aims to develop a platform to strengthen the intellectual community in European Studies (broadly defined), while also facilitating local and regional links with practitioners, researchers, students and others interested in European affairs.
