OXFORD UNIVERSITY BALKAN SOCIETY

CALL FOR PAPERS

'BORDER CROSSINGS IN THE BALKANS'

The Oxford University Balkan Society organises a two-day conference
under the general theme 'Border Crossings in the Balkans' for Trinity
Term (May 2003), at St. Antony's College, University of Oxford.

This event aims to be an interdisciplinary study, which will cover
various aspects (political, economic, social, cultural, religious) of
border crossings in the Balkan Peninsula. Historically, the Balkan
region has been characterised by the exchange of populations, cultures,
languages and religions. Today, the concept of borders is challenged, on
the one hand, by various types of legal and illegal crossings, and on
the other, by a necessity for regional cooperation to enhance social and
political values and institutions.

The following themes are proposed as guidelines for contributions:

1. Border disputes: conflict and its consequences
2. Economic cooperation and economies of border regions
3. Cultural and religious interaction
4. Illegal crossings: migration and smuggling
5. Regional cooperation and development
6. Transborder identities

We hope to bring together contributions from academics, policy makers,
diplomats, and journalists with an expertise in the field, as well as
postgraduate students whose work is now in progress.
Participants need to submit an abstract of paper no more than 250 words,
together with a CV. The abstract should explain briefly the scope and
focus of the proposed topic, its broader significance and the
methodology employed. Proposals could be sent by email to:

Dimitris Antoniou <dimitris.antoniou at sant.ox.ac.uk>
and
Aspasia Papadopoulou <aspasia.papadopoulou at sant.ox.ac.uk>

Or by post to:

Aspasia Papadopoulou
University of Oxford, St.Antony's College
Oxford OX2 6JF
United Kingdom

Deadline for submissions is the 10th of January 2003.
