| Call for Papers: "Problems and success factors in business: perspectives from emerging markets and transition economies II", International Ataturk Alatoo University, Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, 21 April 2005 |
| on Tuesday, November 30, 2004 - 01:40 PM Posted by: Admin |
In today’s competitive global world, there are only two ways to survive and thrive: “Do something better or new”. But realizing or accomplishing these two is not so easy considering today’s global competitive business arena characterized by constant change and uncertainty. There are many roadblocks on the way of success. The business success for the companies located in emerging markets and transition economies is far more difficult to get because the companies in such countries have to deal with many problems in unstable economies. In addition to their relatively weak market positions compared to world’s incumbent multinationals, companies in emerging markets and transition economies suffer from economic and political upheavals, improper policies in business, corruption, unsatisfactory financial and banking systems, immature institutional environments, etc. Thus, surviving or thriving in business for these companies requires handling with (i) the global competition and (ii) the local challenges inherent in emerging countries and transition economies.
The conference aims at providing an academic opportunity for those who want to contribute to business life prosperity in emerging markets and transition economies like the first one organized last year. |

A Program for University Teachers, Advanced Ph.D. Students, Researchers and
Professionals in the Social Sciences and Humanities, July 4-29, 2005.
The Summer University was established in 1996 primarily as a vehicle for helping young faculty, researchers and professionals in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union by promoting academic cooperation and curriculum development in the social sciences and humanities.
In 2003 the program changed its original mission in an effort to become an internationally known and respected venue for cutting-edge research in a broad array of disciplines. It is aiming to involve a high-level international faculty (including CEU faculty), and excellent advanced doctoral students, junior or post-doctoral researchers, teachers and professionals as participants. While application from all over the world is encouraged, continued priority is given to applicants from Central and Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union and countries experiencing emerging democracies worldwide. Applicants from these countries, when admitted on merit, will be eligible for scholarship, while those from developed countries will usually be expected to pay fees. |

| Call for Papers: "Shifting Borders: political and cultural boundaries in Eastern Europe, Russia, and Central Asia", University of Pittsburgh, 25-26 February 2005 |
| on Tuesday, October 12, 2004 - 06:18 AM Posted by: Admin |
| Borders in Eastern Europe, Russia, and Central Asia have been the subject of intense contestation and revision over the course of the 19th and 20th centuries. Boundaries within Europe's multinational empires faced constant strain with the rise of nationalism and were redrawn following the dissolution of the empires in the First World War. Soviet nationalities policies codified, even invented nationhood in bounded and institutionalized Central Asian republics. Major territorial shifts occurred again after World War II. The dissolution of the Soviet Union ushered in yet another revision of the map, and today we watch as the borders of Europe continue to change. The debates about the boundaries of and within these regions are held at all levels of society, thus calling for a discussion that crosses disciplinary borders as well. |
