EASTERN EUROPE AND THE CRISIS<br>
 <br>
Greetings. I write to let you know that we are proposing to organise a small conference here in May 2010 on EASTERN EUROPE AND THE CRISIS, with a focus on the political implications of the economic changes that have taken place since late 2008 in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus (and of course elsewhere). We’ve chosen the dates Thurs 13 and Friday 14 May 2010, from 2pm on the Thursday to 5 or so on the Friday, followed by a dinner. We’re inviting papers (on top of those already promised), and we expect to be able to meet all local costs and at least to make a contribution to travelling costs where these cannot be met from other sources. We may include a concluding panel that will give an opportunity to those who would like to make a contribution but not necessarily in the form of a written paper, and you are welcome to propose your services as chair (we don’t expect to have discussants as such). Subject to agreement and obviously to the comments of<br>
 reviewers, we would hope to make the papers available for consideration as a special issue of Europe-Asia Studies (and probably as a separate book). Not least, we hope to have fun!<br>
Do please let us know if you would be able and willing to attend, and if you would wish to offer a formal paper, what its title would be. We will be in touch again at a later stage with more specific arrangements. <br>
Best wishes,<br>
