Upcoming Conference: Europe and the World before and after 1989

Published: Thu 27th November

The Europe-wide impact of 1989 deserves thorough examination. The year was a watershed for events, which came in its aftermath: European Union enlargement, trans-national economics and changing values on both sides of the Berlin Wall. We seek to stimulate dialogue and new research projects that the examine changes for actors and organizations not just in the region formerly known as Eastern Europe, but equally in Western Europe. Indeed, we encourage the examination of the reconfigurations that occurred across Europe and the world, linking the ‘before’ and ‘after’ of 1989.  A public conference in 2009, based on an open and competitive call, is being organised and a call for papers being made.
