Type one or more search terms into the search box and click on the search button.
The search engine does not distinguish between lowercase and uppercase letters.
A results page will be produced: a list of web pages related to your search terms, with the most relevant page appearing first, then the next, and so on.
Boolean operators
The operator AND is set as default between words. You can combine several words or phrases by using the logical operators ‘OR’ and ‘AND’.
You can also use plus or minus marks for including or excluding words (see below).
Ranking
The more of the words that are present in the page, the higher is the score.
If words appear in the same order as in your query, and close to each other, the score of the document gets high.
Phrase Search
Use quotation marks to compound phrases. If you wish to search for a phrase, you write text inside “…”quotation marks.
Eg. "African studies"
Truncation
Use * for truncation of search terms. A search term does not always have to be entered in its complete form. Search terms may be truncated from left or right.
Eg. Tanza* or even *anza*
Prioritizing Words
Plus marks a word as necessary. By preceding a word or a phrase with a plus sign, you tell the search engine that you are only looking for documents that contain that word/phrase.
Eg. +policy +activities
Word Exclusion
Minus marks a word as not wanted. By preceding a word or phrase with a minus sign, you tell the search engine to exclude that word/phrase and only to look for documents that match the rest of the query.
Eg. nordic -africa –institute
Please note that panel 82 is planned as a round table discussion.

This panel addresses to what extent and under what circumstances the EU should be seen as a unified actor in its relations with Africa. Whereas the EU often speaks with one voice in trade policy, EU policies toward the outside world tend to be more ambiguous and pluralistic in other policy areas, such as development cooperation and security policy. Many policymakers, especially from the European Commission, emphasize that the making of the EU as an unified global actor calls for a strengthening of the EU’s central institutions, instruments, and policies, where the Commission or the Council must, so the argument goes, play a leading role (Bretherton and Vogler 2006). Such attempts at centralization and communitarization are contested, however, and there is a real need to analyze the tensions and paradoxes between the central EU institutions and those of the individual EU member states. Sometimes the EU’s external policies are supranational and common, whereas in other areas cases they are either “shared” between EU institutions and EU member states or based on national and intergovernmental policies. In other cases still, there appears to be little in the way of articulated EU policy, and the member states pursue their own national policies outside of the EU framework. Thus, there are complex interrelationships between the EU’s external relations and those of the member states, and this panel explores the fact that this “coordination game” varies across and between different policy areas — hence the focus on trade, aid and security policies.
