Contested Europes: Legacies, Legitimacies, and (Dis)Integration – Baltic, Eastern and Central European perspectives

The year 2018 leads our memories to two dates, 1918 and 1968. The two dates imply two different Europes, i.e., a Europe of national states or a Europe of democratic integration, one apparently conflicting or even incompatible with the other. Ironically, in the year 2018 marking both of these anniversaries, we can see both these Europes undergoing a deep crisis in what concerns respective legacies from the past.

This conference seeks to address these two mutually contradicting and sometimes paradoxically coexisting forms of legacy. We also invite a discussion about the complicated dynamic in the relation between them from the point of view of their power to provide legitimation for political decisions, for social and cultural engagement, and for the projects of the future.

Welcome to the CBEES Annual Conference 2018

The Centre for Baltic and East European Studies (CBEES), founded in 2005, is a research centre at Södertörn University in Stockholm. Its purpose is to develop, coordinate and conduct research on the Baltic Sea region and Eastern Europe, which is also one of the most important research profiles at Södertörn University. CBEES conducts a wide range of activities, including advanced seminars, public lectures, courses, workshops, conferences, summer schools, and network meetings – to name a few. It publishes Baltic Worlds, a printed scholarly journal that is distributed in 50 countries. The centre also hosts the Baltic and East European Graduate School (BEEGS), in which more than 90 PhD students have successfully defended their doctoral theses.

The theme of the 2018 conference is “Contested Europes: Legitimacies and (Dis)Integration – Baltic, Eastern and Central European Perspectives”. It explores the dates 1918 and 1968 as reference points for understanding different and differing legacies of Europe in relation in its current dynamics of integration or threatening disintegration. Questions will be posed, answers offered and debated, and new issues highlighted – that is the nature of research.

I am grateful for the work of the organizing committee and I wish you all an enjoyable and engaging conference!
