External borders were shifted, internal borders were dissolved, old borders re-emerged, and new borders were established. It is becoming clear that these processes are influenced not only by political and economic factors, but to a large extent by basic cultural, historic and social conditions as well. Analysis of all these areas leads to a better understanding of Europe as a space characterised by complex processes of establishing and transcending borders. Such analysis is therefore of fundamental importance for shaping the continent for the future.<BR><BR>Against the backdrop of this complex challenge, the German Association for East European Studies (DGO) is hosting a
European Congress under the title "Transcending Europe’s Borders: The EU and Its Neighbours", August 2–4, 2007, in Berlin. The congress is to build on the success of the ICCEES VII World Congress, which took place in Berlin in summer 2005. The congress is to serve as the prelude to a series of international conferences that will be held every two to three years to address issues concerning the shaping of Europe’s future from the perspective of all relevant disciplines. The congress will provide a forum for representatives from the fields of Law, History, Political Science, Cultural Studies, Economics, Slavic Studies, Geography, Sociology, Religious Studies and other associated disciplines. The goal of the congress is to promote international interdisciplinary collaboration in researching European integration as well as Europe and Eastern Europe, fields of study that have to this point co-existed more or less separately.<BR><BR>Contributions to the congress may address
topics along the lines of the following examples:<BR><BR> <LI>historic, cultural and legal conditions for the transformation processes; <BR> <LI>the relationship between borders, nation-state and regional society in the 19th and 20th centuries; <BR> <LI>"mental maps" and greater regions in history; <BR> <LI>establishing and transcending cultural and historical borders; <BR> <LI>the role of literature and art in the perception and transformation of reality in Europe; <BR> <LI>cultural processing of social and intellectual upheaval; <BR> <LI>EU relations with its post-Soviet neighbours in the east and post-communist neighbours in the south as well as problems associated with Europeanisation and external governance; <BR> <LI>political, social and economic transformations since the dissolution of Cold War political and military blocs, i.e. bloc borders, in Europe; <BR> <LI>social and economic transformation in old and new border regions; <BR> <LI>perspectives for
shaping Europe. <BR><BR><B>Website</B>: <A href="http://www.iccees-europe.de/default.html" target=_blank>http://www.iccees-europe.de/default.html</A></LI></FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE><BR><p>
