24TH INTERNATIONALSUMMER UNIVERSITY28TH JUNE – 6TH JULY 2019KŐSZEG, HUNGARY

30 years have passed since the fall of the Berlin Wall and former communist countries from Central and Eastern Europe took the path to (re)democratization. The process of EU accession began initially with enthusiasm and optimism in the early 1990s, as it was seen as paving the way towards a united, democratic Europe. However, the EU has faced and is facing both internal and external challenges (monetary crisis, unequal economic integration, migration crisis, Brexit) which put into question the very idea of liberal democracy. Some of the leadership of the Visegrad Four are increasingly at odds with EU leadership, and the ghosts of the 1990s haunt the Western Balkans candidate states. Increasing cleavages and conflicts on complex issues (economic convergence, security and migration) have resulted in sharpening divisions between North and South, East and West.

The idea behind this year’s summer university is to reevaluate the achievements and challenges of CEE and Western Balkans in the last 30 years with discussions between senior scholars, who have lived through and researched the transitions in CEE, and young researchers/students who face the current challenges intellectually and existentially. 

The envisioned outcome is a publication of an edited volume containing essays written by the young scholars as a result of these discussions, containing historical overviews of the developments in the last 30 years and visions of the future in the next 30 years.

Topics: In addition to daily lectures and discussions with leading figures in academic and public life, students may choose between six interdisciplinary Working Groups for afternoon sessions:

• NarrativesandEvaluationsoftheTransitions

• SocialEntrepreneurship

• MemoryPolitics

• CompetingCultures

• SustainabilityandResilientSocieties

• CitizenshipinEurope
