are pleased to invite the Social Sciences and Humanities junior
faculty members from the Universities of Central, Eastern Europe, the
Newly Independent States of the former Soviet Union to participate in
a new three-year Project:
Modernity and the Futures of Capitalism in Eurasia: Scholarly Debates
and Teaching Practices
The mission of the Project is to present to young scholars from the
region, innovations and solutions, within theoretical debates about
modernity and European capitalisms, to discuss and develop new methods
of teaching classes that deal with modernity, modernization,
globalization, Europeanization, and socio-economic developments in
post-Communist countries of Eurasia. Presenting crucial issues in the
forms of debates, discussion of opposing viewpoints, and by employing
the methodology and approach of interdisciplinary scholarship, the
Project aims to stimulate academic circles to enter into new
disciplines of International Political Economy, new institutional
economics and new institutional sociology.
The participants will be fortunate to have the possibility to gather
information firsthand and to participate in the debates between the
two schools/approaches to Modernity in Contemporary Social Theory: the
Alberto Martinelli's approach and Goran Therborn's approach.
The Project is oriented towards motivated scholars who will
participate in around the year activities, online inter-sessions and
follow-up workshops.
All activities of the Project are in English.
