Submitted Articles

eumap.org occasionally receives offers of articles that are not related to any Call for Papers. The new section Submitted Articles expands the Online Journal's scope so we can henceforth publish a selection of such contributions as well, separately from the Journal's regular Features, if they relate to issues of human rights and the rule of law. If you are considering submitting one, please see the Editorial Policy on Submitted Articles and Features (and the difference between them).

How the epistemic communities reshape the rule of law. The French model of judicial education and the post-communist judicial reforms
Daniela Piana

eumap.org rarely publishes submissions of this length, but Daniela Piana's article aptly takes on the themes of the 2001-2002 EUMAP reports on judicial capacity and independence (reports, further info), following up their findings with new observations, and is therefore published as valuable exception.

August 2006: Spotlight on Monitoring

Monitoring is the main focus of all EUMAP’s activities. Therefore we are always interested to learn from the experiences with monitoring activities of other civil society organisations. This month we present two articles on recent successful monitoring projects, which we hope will inspire other organisations, and provide some useful ideas for improving monitoring techniques and outcomes.

Both projects used recognised European standards as the basis for the monitoring — of the EU and the Council of Europe, respectively. Both involved coordination between a large number of project partners – civil society organisations and individuals with specific expertise.

Introduction

Monitoring of Bulgaria’s EU Accession Readiness
carried out by the Open Society Institute – Sofia.

Monitoring of Democratic Reforms in Armenia
carried out by the Yerevan Press Club together with a number of organisations from the Partnership for Open Society.

We also invite you to submit your own monitoring project for future "spotlight on monitoring" features: questionnaire included.
