Association (CEEISA) "Borders on Our Mind, Borders of the Mind"
Date:
September 2-4, 2009
Site:
School of International Relations, St.-Petersburg State University
Organiser: Central and East European International Studies
Association (CEEISA)
Topics:
Conference participants are invited to respond to the following six
questions from within their own sub-disciplines: Two decades after
'1989', which borders have disappeared, which have remained, which
have shifted, what others have been constructed? Does the
globalisation of world economy help to transcend or erect borders? Of
what kind? What are the effects of international institutions, inter-
governmental and non- governmental organizations? What are the
effects of the persistence of gendered structures on the already
hierarchical division of labour? What does the composite of issues
related to (illegal) migration, security, and citizenship say about
our physical, virtual, and ethical borders? Is IR an instance of the
persistence of borders of the mind having 'real' effects? To what
extent the study of International Relations reflects the borders in
the minds of IR scholars (as with politics/economy, inside/outside,
theory/practice)? Researching beyond territoriality? Is it possible
and/or desirable?
