International Conference: “25 Years of Revolution. Comparing Revolt and Transition from Europe 1989 to Arab World 2014” — Université d’Edinbourg, 08-09/01/2014
This unique conference is organised by the Centre for the Advanced Study of the Arab World (CASAW), the Centre for Russian, Central and East European Studies (CRCEES), and the Centre for East European Language Based Area Studies (CEELBAS).
It will bring together scholars working on the Arab world, Eastern and Southern Europe, and the former Soviet Union to showcase and stimulate comparative research on the two sets of revolutions.
The events from late 2010 in the Arab world and those of 1989 in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) have invited many comparisons and even been described as two chapters in the story of democracy’s spread across the globe.
Do the Arab uprisings, and their increasingly problematic aftermaths, in fact share more with post-communist transitions in the Balkans and Former Soviet Union than they do with those in CEE?
This unique conference, marking 25 years since the upheavals of 1989 and 3 since the beginning of the Arab Spring, is organised by the Centre for the Advanced Study of the Arab World (CASAW), the Centre for Russian, Central and East European Studies (CRCEES), and the Centre for East European Language Based Area Studies (CEELBAS). It will bring together scholars working on the Arab world, Eastern and Southern Europe, and the former Soviet Union to showcase and stimulate comparative research on the two sets of revolutions.
