CFP: Ideologies, Values and Political Behaviors in Central and Eastern Europe

It is our pleasure to invite you to participate in the upcoming 10th edition of the International Symposium “Ideologies, values and political behaviors in Central and Eastern Europe”.

The event aims to bring together researchers interested in Central and Eastern European politics. We welcome paper proposals from scholars on political topics in Central and Eastern Europe as detailed below. The proposal should be no longer than one page and it should include a short Curriculum Vitae. Selected participants should send their full presentation by the 28th of November 2011. All selected participants will be informed before the 14th of November 2011.

Selected papers will be published in a forthcoming volume of the Political Studies Forum, a journal edited by the Politics Department of the West University of Timisoara.

We are particularly interested in receiving contributions on the following topics:

• Social movements in Central and Eastern Europe
• Political ideologies in post-communism
• The 1989 revolutions in political and historical context
• Cleavages and party systems
• The political economy of transition in Central and Eastern Europe
• Development studies in Eastern European context
• Elections and political parties in Central and Eastern Europe

There is no participation fee. Unfortunately, the organizers cannot cover the costs for travel and accommodation, and we recommend you to apply to your own university for such funds. We can, however, assist you with reservations in the university dormitory and other practicalities.

For further information, details and for sending the application please contact Mr. Emanuel Copilas at: [email protected]

We are looking forward to welcoming you in Timisoara.
