The exit from war in Danubian Europe: a new era? (1918-1924)
Using the Hungarian case as a springboard, and broadening the perspective to the whole of Danubian Europe, the conference seeks to address the following questions: the new social bonds emerging from the transformation brought about by the Paris Peace Conference; social, intellectual and (or) regional impact of changes, conflicts and international confrontations between 1918 and 1924. The conference aims to rise to the challenge of writing comparative social histories of this historical moment.

The challenging of ideological, institutional and (geo)political heritage
This conference aims at rethinking the legacy of 1989 in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) through the prism of its ongoing contestations, with a focus on the current trends and deliberate political efforts that challenge the major achievements of Velvet Revolutions as well as the outcomes of the collapse of the Iron Curtain. 1989 launched a process that continues to this day. Three decades of transformations, crises and setbacks have noticeably changed the shape of Central and Eastern European societies.

Dissent Versus Conformism in the Nordic, Baltic and Black Sea Areas
The tenth annual international conference on Nordic and Baltic Studies in Romania
In the meanwhile, conformism seems to have pervaded larger categories of public in East-Central Europe and beyond and new “illiberal democracies” evolved. A composite of authoritarian leader and godfather have taken the reins of power in the area. Populist parties and movements are on the rise. Resurgent nationalisms are again offered as a substitute to solutions. The refugee crisis lingers on and no common decisions have been adopted within the EU to solve it on the basis of the European values. The EU institutions are in need of reform and decisions on the course of the organization and its future enlargement process are still pending. The conference aims at analyzing two often interrelated phenomena: dissent and conformism.

The return of Russia and the reconfiguration of power games in Central Africa
Dialectique des Intelligences journal no.06
Ce numéro se propose d’analyser les enjeux géoéconomiques, géopolitiques et géostratégiques autour desquels gravite l’actuelle offensive de la Russie en Afrique. Comment percevoir le retour de la Russie sur le continent depuis le début du XXIe siècle ? Dans la compétition déjà virulente entre les puissances occidentales elles-mêmes, entre celles-ci et la Chine pour le contrôle de l’Afrique centrale dont la cécité stratégique des dirigeants est caractéristique des pays, quel apport peut avoir l’entrée en scène de le Russie ? Quelles incidences l’entrée en scène de la Russie pourrait avoir dans la rude compétition de puissance dans une Afrique centrale au cœur de convoitises des grandes puissances, occidentales et émergentes ? Les approches historiques, juridiques, politiques, sécuritaires, diplomatiques, culturelles et stratégiques devront permettre de répondre à ces interrogations qui mettent en lumière la nouvelle politique africaine de la Russie.

The implementation of France’s commitment in Central and Eastern Europe in the interwar period (1917-1939)
The aim of this conference is to shed light on joint practical initiatives between France and all the allied countries of central Europe during the inter-war period to concretely build the alliance between the partners. France’s collaboration with the member states of the Little Entente (Czechoslovakia, Romania, Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes) — and of these powers amongst themselves — will be emphasized, but communications on the ties with the other Allied Powers or partners from the region (Poland, the Baltic States and Finland, Greece, Turkey), and even with the revisionist powers (Soviet Russia, Hungary, Bulgaria) are welcome.

Post-soviet dis-integration and dis-connections (1991-2016)
25 years after the collapse of the Soviet Union, this conference aims at investigating its transversal consequences from two original standpoints: patterns of integration/disintegration combined to logics of connection / disconnection. These issues have various expressions in societal, normative, linguistic, regional or international fields. The conference will hence tackle a general question: how do political choices, economic contingencies or social phenomena foster or disrupt all kinds of links throughout the post-soviet area?

Can regions understand each other?
Europe and Asia: challenges and crisis-management
Further to the first Europe-Asia conferences exploring regional regime dynamics (France, 2004), policies of regional cooperation (Korea, 2005), interregional competition (France, 2012) and the limits of regional constructions (Kazakhstan, 2014), this 2016 edition will look at the reciprocal understanding of regions and how that is conducive to their capacity (or lack thereof) to monitor crises they undergo, both specific crises and interregional ones. Papers must address original research, in regional dynamics of Asia and Europe, since the end of the cold war and focus on one area among.

The propaganda of the Soviet war on the screen, 1939-1946
La première ambition du colloque est de contribuer au renouveau des perspectives concernant « l’art de propagande » soviétique, qui doit être envisagé de manière plus vaste que la seule agitation politique, car il inclut les tâches éducatives, la formation hygiéniste, technique, ou de prévention des populations civiles. Le second aspect privilégié tient aux spécificités des propagandes de guerre, qui concentrent tous les outils de communication vers un unique objectif. L’étude du cinéma soviétique en guerre s’appuiera utilement sur les nombreux travaux concernant la mobilisation des cinémas alliés ou ennemis.

Binds and borders : Russo-american relations since the fall of the Berlin Wall
Colloque international organisé par le Centre d’études en civilisations, langues et littératures
Comment peut-on définir les relations entre la Russie et les États-Unis depuis la chute du mur de Berlin ? Quels en sont les principaux enjeux, dans le contexte de la globalisation ? Seront étudiées les relations politiques, la circulation des personnes et des biens entre les deux pays, mais aussi la sphère symbolique comme, par exemple, les formes prises par le modèle américain en Russie. Le présent colloque accordera une attention particulière aux liens indirects, triangulaires : qu’en est-il de la relation américano-russe en Iran, en Ukraine, à Cuba, etc. ?

Intra-Group Tensions After the Fall of Communism: Causes, Consequences, and Contexts
Much has been written about the intricacies of acceptance and integration of immigrants who are racial, ethnic and/or confessional ‘others’ in relation to host populations. There are many examples of co-ethnics’ interaction which are overtly or latently accompanied by intra-group conflict, tension and misunderstanding, but academic coverage of co-ethnics’ encounters is far less ‘mature’ in terms of conceptualization, and literature devoted to these issues is far less abundant. The pattern of peoples' interaction being studied is usually a result of various kinds of population movement provoked by serious socio-political cataclysms in the 20th and 21st centuries, including the collapse of multi-national states and the intensification of labor migration resulting from post-socialist economic transformation. Our aim is to bring together international scholars who could present results of their latest research on these topics, preferably from a comparative and/or micro-level perspective.

African students in the USSR and other former Eastern Bloc countries (1960–1990)
From national histories to an international context
On the one hand, we need to reexamine the evolution of Soviet politics and USSR strategies for cooperation, especially with African countries, development aid in the broader geopolitical context in which academic and cultural exchange programs, and the circulation of students and elites took place.On the other hand, we have to link the mobilities of students and elites to the evolution of national politics pursued by African countries, especially as far as their academic, economic, and industrial policies are concerned.The goal is also to compare this dual historic contextualization of mobilities of the students of the African countries to the historical changes that took place in the relations that such countries had with former colonizing countries after winning their independence. Finally, all of this research will be analyzed in the light of the history of the knowledge and scientific fields involved and cultural representations of Africa developed in partner-country societies.

Dépasser la dichotomie européanisation contre tournant autoritaire
Une part importante des pays anciennement communistes (hors URSS) fait l'objet de travaux en termes d'européanisation tandis que les ex-républiques soviétiques sont souvent abordées sous l'angle du nationalisme et des régimes autoritaires. Serait-ce là l'essentiel du post-communisme ? Une fatale alternative sans autre issue ? Organisée par les doctorants du programme Russie – CEI de Sciences Po, cette journée d'études vise à dépasser cette opposition. Les axes thématiques retenus sont les suivants : nationalisme, relations internationales, mémoire, personnel politique et mobilisation. La journée d’étude permettra également d'inscrire ces recherches dans les questionnements actuels de la science politique en les confrontant au regard de spécialistes d'autres aires géographiques.

A Forgotten October? Russia in 1993
From 21 September to 4 October 1993, Russia experienced a major political crisis. The political confrontation between President Boris Yeltsin and the Parliament ended with the storming of Parliament by the army on 4 October, and the arrests of the rebel deputies and their supporters : more than 150 were dead and 400 injured. October 1993 has been considered as a stage in the regime's derailment from democracy and as forming the matrix of political developments in the country leading to Vladmir Putin. Twenty years after October 1993, this Conference aims to propose a sociological analysis of this crucial but neglected political crisis. To this end, it seeks to question the official version of the event, and will restore the place of alternative accounts and memories. It will analyse the debates on different political models and economic reformes so as to understand the stakes of the conflict as identified by the actors.

Almaty
Le colloque International « Le Caucase et l’Asie centrale, vingt ans après les indépendances : Questionner la notion de « Sud(s) » » , qui se tiendra à Almaty (Kazakhstan) du 25 au 27 août 2011 s'adresse à des spécialistes de l'Asie centrale et du Caucase de différentes disciplines. Il a pour ambition d’interroger la pertinence des outils heuristiques élaborés à partir de terrains situés au « Sud », mais aussi de la notion même de « Sud(s) » pour appréhender les périphéries méridionales de l’espace post-soviétique. Ce colloque viendra conclure un programme ANR intitulé « Caucase et Asie Centrale : un autre Sud ? », mené par une équipe pluridisciplinaire au sein du CERCEC (CNRS/EHESS) depuis 2008. -

La France et les Français en Russie : de nouvelles sources pour de nouvelles recherches (1789-1917)
De Pierre le Grand à la Seconde Guerre mondiale, les relations de la France et de laRussie, tour à tour alliées ou opposées, ont toujours été importantes pour l’histoire del’Europe dans tous les domaines, politiques, diplomatiques, militaires, commerciaux ou intellectuels. Or la période qui s’étend entre la Révolution de 1789 à celle de 1917, est, mis à part l’épisode napoléonien, presque une terra incognita tant du point de vue des sources conservées dans les deux pays que des recherches effectuées. À l'occasion de la publication d'un Guide sur les sources de l’histoire de France et des Français dans les archives d’État à Moscou sous l'égide de l’École nationale des chartes, le colloque, « La France et les Français en Russie : de nouvelles sources pour de nouvelles recherches 1789-1917 » souhaite offrir de nouveaux éclairages sur les relations franco-russes. -
