CfP: Post-Cold War Transformations: Navigating Conflict and Cooperation in Eastern and Southeast Europe

21.02.2025 News Calls for papers

This two-day workshop invites doctoral and other early career researchers to critically engage with the intersections of conflict and cooperation in the Eastern and Southeast European context. Participants are encouraged to examine the historical, political, economic, cultural, and social dynamics that drive both divisions and cooperation within and across these regions. The workshop aims to foster dialogue and collaboration among emerging scholars and highlight innovative methodologies and perspectives. Our focus extends from macro-level analyses to microhistories and individual experiences, encouraging a nuanced understanding of regional dynamics. A key focus of the workshop is fostering self-reflection and open discussion about participants' work. We prioritize creating a space where individuals can share challenges they are facing and explore strategies that have helped them overcome them.

We welcome papers addressing (but not limited to) the following topics:

  • Nation-building and Transformations: State formation and identity in the aftermath of conflict.
  • Ethnic and Religious Dimensions: Their roles in both fostering conflict and enabling cooperation.
  • Economic (De)Integration: Regional economic networks, dependencies, and their sociopolitical impacts.
  • Environmental Change and Cooperation: Resource management, climate change, and environmental challenges.
  • Interactions, Interdependencies, and (In)Security between Conflict and Cooperation: Factors influencing the scope for peace negotiations, reconceptualisation and institutionalization of security in Europe.

Submission guidelines:

  • We look forward to receiving abstracts by 20 March 2025.

  • Applicants are encouraged to include an additional paragraph outlining any challenges they  are encountering in their research—such as methodological, ethical, or writing-related difficulties—that they would like to discuss and receive feedback on.
