Call for Papers:

Elites and the Formation of Identities in Post Soviet Space

Cambridge 11 June 2010

Under the auspices of the Centre for East European Language Based Area
Studies (Ceelbas) a workshop will be organised at Cambridge University
on 11 June 2010.

Papers are solicited on the topic of Elites and the Formation of
Identities in Post Soviet Space:  Global and Domestic Influences.
Papers should address the ways in which domestic and international or
exogenous elites influence the formation of identity (national,
international, regional, religious, class and individual) in the
countries of post-Soviet space.

The papers should address the ways in which internationalization of
economics and politics interact with domestic interests to shape
national and other forms of identity. Paper-givers are encouraged to
consider both theoretical approaches and empirical data and to address
the tension between domestic and exogenous influences on shaping state
and other forms of identity.

The workshop will be held in Cambridge and will include papers on both
internal and external influences on personal and state (as well as
regional) identity. Here we take into account the role of
global/international elites (articulating the interests of global and
regional companies and political institutions, diasporas, and civil
society associations (e.g. Churches)) in the formation of various
types of national and cross-national identities.

Please send proposals as soon as possible and before 1 March 2010.
Proposals should include: a one page abstract, your present position
(post-graduate, academic staff, research staff, etc), your mail
address and email address to David Lane  DSL10 at cam.ac.uk.
