Europe and the paths of solidarity - population movements in Central and Eastern Europe in the 20th century

Mouvements de populations en Europe centrale et orientale au XXème siècle

En donnant la parole aux historiens, la table ronde vise à faire la lumière sur les différentes formes de solidarité, émergées dans le contexte des mouvements de populations au XXème siècle dans la région de l’Europe centrale et orientale sur le plan communautaire, étatique et international. À partir d’études de cas précis, il s’agira dans le cadre de cette table ronde d’allier analyse historique à l’étude empirique du contemporain. Comment ces expériences, souvent étroitement liées à leurs contextes particuliers et à leurs cadres régionaux, peuvent-elles être observées aujourd’hui et servir de ressources pour l’étude plus générale de la question des migrations ?

Post-soviet diaspora(s) in Western Europe (1991-2017)

Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, millions of former soviet citizens crossed the national borders in search of better lives in new countries, in what was the biggest migration tide since the end of World War II. These Post-Soviet migrants were diverse in origins, strategies and expectations. They often represented a challenge to the orthodox views of migration processes, since in most cases these flows could not be easily described and analysed following commonly accepted theoretical frameworks. Everybody seemed to be on the move: labour migrants, political refugees, cross-border traders, “tourists” planning to forget their return... and in a short period, they spread all over Western Europe.

The daily life and experiences of African students in the USSR and Russia

Avec les indépendances et la décolonisation, des étudiants africains sont venus très nombreux en URSS ; mais moins souvent en Russie après la Perestroïka. Quelle a été l’histoire de ces étudiants partis se former, non pas dans l’ancien pays colonisateur, comme cela était souvent le cas, mais dans un pays étranger envers lequel ils étaient souvent partagés entre admiration et méfiance ? Comment y sont-ils arrivés ? Quelles ont été alors leurs expériences ? Qu’est-ce qui les a marqués ? Quel a été leur devenir professionnel et politique ?

Phantom Borders in the Political Behaviour and Electoral Geography in East Central Europe

We understand phantom borders as political borders, which politically/legally do not exist anymore but seem to appear in different forms and modes of social action and practices today, as for example voting as one part of political behaviour. The conference deals with historical borders, made visible in discourses and maps concerning political behavior, as for instance in electoral maps. Our aim is to challenge the historical interrelation of current political behaviour, the involvement of geopolitical images, internal as external governance contexts and transnational networks for (re)constructing historical borders as phantom borders. We are interested in case studies especially about East Central Europe, but also in studies from all over the world combining qualitative and quantitative approaches, addressing the main questions of the conference. Case studies may address different levels and scales from local to transnational.

Referendums and the European democratic ideal

There has most definitely been a renewed interest in referendums in Europe. Over time, some countries such as Switzerland have fully integrated this form of popular ballot into their political practises while others, having scarcely used them in the past, are turning to them more and more. Given that the absolute purity of referendums contrasts sharply with the imperfections of representative democracy, they are often considered to be the impassable horizon of the democratic ideal. In this sense, they can be considered to be the essential expression of democratic will. Yet referendums are more frequently referred to in political discourse than they are actually put into use.

Political Border and Identifications: Populations between Habsburg Monarchy and Ottoman Empire

L’objectif de cette conférence est de réunir des chercheurs venus de différents pays – France, Serbie et Croatie – afin d’échanger sur la question des identifications aux frontières austro-ottomanes au XVIIIe siècle. Ce type de problématique a déjà été largement traité pour l’espace hexagonal et méditerranéen en France. Mais la situation de cette frontière terrestre qui passait, à l’époque, pour la limite orientale de l’Europe chrétienne puis de l’Europe policée ou éclairée, est beaucoup moins connue. Pourtant, l’histoire de la frontière en Europe centrale et balkanique s’appuie sur une tradition historiographique déjà longue et continue à faire l’objet de nombreux travaux portant sur des sources encore peu étudiées. Cette table ronde, qui se tiendra en anglais et en français, sera donc l’occasion de découvrir et de discuter ces perspectives de recherche.

Historical Development of National Systems of Elite Formation in Eastern and Central Europe

This workshop is bringing together specialists from mostly Eastern Europe together with some West European partners, capable and liable of sharing their localised research expertise in the study of the birth and initial development of national systems of elite training in a number of (mostly but not exclusively) small East Central European societies. All of them have very concrete empirical research agendas and records in these fields, but separately, applied to their own national societies. The idea of the meeting is born from the need of and the interest in comparing – in many thematic issues term by term – research findings, insights and questions gained from studies of the training, career and activities of various East European elite groups during the decades up to the Soviet take-over.
