This little known essay is one of many such plans that have been published in Europe proposing to end war and usher in perpetual peace. This project was realized with the help of funding granted to the EDRC by the University of Malta Research Fund Committee.

In this project we teamed up with the Island and Small State Institute of the University to explore the economic and political dimension of these four islands’ participation in the process of European integration. The scholars who participated in this colloquium were: • from Cyprus – Professor Andreas Theophanous and Dr Y. Tikrides of the University of Nicosia; • from Ireland, Professor Peadar Kirby from the University of Limerick and Dr Mary Murphy from the University of Dublin; • from Iceland Professor Baldur Thorhallsson from the University of Iceland; • and from Malta Professor Roderick Pace, Dr Mark Harwood, Mr Stefano Moncada, Mr Jean Micallef Grimaud and Dr Gordon Cordina. The papers presented at the colloquium will be developed further and they will be published next year in a book by Ashgate Publishers. Work has already started on this publication which will also serve as a very useful teaching tool at the University of Malta and hopefully beyond.
