The process of change in Eastern Europe since the fall of communism at  the end of the 1980s, the accession of 10 Eastern European states to  the EU and the continuing work of European integration in the former  Yugoslavia make this an appropriate time to reflect on the experience  of Eastern Europe, Russia and the former Soviet Union.

 European Congress 2013: 'Europe: Crisis and Renewal'

 April 5 - 8, 2013, Cambridge, UK

 

 The processes of political, economic, and cultural change in Europe

 have had a particularly strong impact upon the countries of Eastern

 Europe and their neighbours in the east. It is timely to reflect on

 and debate the ways in which Europe and the former Soviet Union has

 experienced and coped with crisis in all its forms, past and present.

 

 The process of change in Eastern Europe since the fall of communism at

 the end of the 1980s, the accession of 10 Eastern European states to

 the EU and the continuing work of European integration in the former

 Yugoslavia make this an appropriate time to reflect on the experience

 of Eastern Europe, Russia and the former Soviet Union.

 

 The congress theme 'Europe: Crisis and Renewal' provides a focus to

 allow reflection on contemporary challenges - political, economic and

 social - as well as on the history of Central and Eastern Europe,

 Russia and the former Soviet Union.
