ICCEES2010_Call_for_Proposals

[Tova Höjdestrand]

DEAR COLLEAGUES,

We have the honour to invite the international academic community to the
VIII ICCEES World Congress in Stockholm 2010, to participate in a wide
scholarly discussion with the overriding theme:

EURASIA: PROSPECTS FOR WIDER COOPERATION

Call for Proposals

The VIII World Congress of the International Council for Central and East
European Studies will take place in Stockholm, Sweden, on 26-31 July 2010.
The Swedish Society for the Study of Russia, Central and Eastern Europe
and Central Asia invites all interested scholars to submit proposals for
panels, papers and round-table discussions. These proposals should reflect
the results of new research in the study of developments in the cultural,
political, social and economic processes underway in Central and Eastern
Europe and the former Soviet Union.

2010 marks the 25th anniversary of Mikhail Gorbachev's appointment to the
position of General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union,
and the Congress therefore considers it to be an opportune time to revisit
his policies of glasnost and perestroika. Of special interest for the
Congress are the cultural transformations that occur at times of intense
political and economic change. At the same time, the present international
situation poses new challenges, and the Congress seeks to organize a wide
scholarly discussion of these developments. The processes of European
integration and wider cooperation across Eurasia not only impact upon
geographical spaces but also leave their mark upon cultural spaces. These
processes make communication between languages, histories, religions,
traditions, legacies and memories more complex. Humanities and social
science scholars are therefore invited to reflect on how local cultural
contexts react to, engage in, or resist globalization.
For more information about the general themes of the Congress, please see:
