The Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences invites applications for the Masterclass “The ‘New Authoritarianism’: Modern Authoritarian Regimes in Comparative Perspective”, which will take place at the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences in Amsterdam on 26-27 November 2013.
The Masterclass is targeted at doctoral students and candidates and recent doctoral graduates who study the contemporary political regimes of China and Russia. The Masterclass precedes the Academy Colloquium “The ‘New Authoritarianism’: Russia and China in Comparative Perspective”, equally hosted by the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences. The idea behind the Masterclass is to identify and bring together early career scholars who work on China and Russia. At the Masterclass, you will have the opportunity to present your research and receive comments and feedback from peers as well as senior scholars in the fields of area studies and political science who participate in the Academy Colloquium. The Masterclass welcomes both empirical (single-case and comparative) and theoretical research.
Questions that will be addressed in the Masterclass include (but are not limited to):
-What is the impact of cultural, political, and economic legacies on the nature and form of authoritarian rule in China and Russia?
-How should we understand the concept of legitimacy in an undemocratic context? What forms of legitimacy can be distinguished in such a context?
-What forces strengthen and undermine the hold on power of authoritarian regimes such as China’s and Russia’s?
-To what degree do modern authoritarian regimes learn from each other?
-Do today’s authoritarian regimes challenge the democracy-dictatorship dichotomy and existing theories of political regimes?
-How can scholars of authoritarianism who work on different regions and cases benefit from each other’s insights and findings?

Call for Papers: ASPASIA/ 9: Rethinking Empire from Eastern Europe
DEADLINE: September 15, 2013
The /ASPASIA/ Editors invite submissions on the theme of gender and
empire in Eastern Europe for /ASPASIA/ vol. 9, with Susan Zimmermann
(CEU) as guest-editor.
Gendered imperialism within Eastern Europe has received little
attention from scholars. We hope this theme section will address this
omission and inspire exciting new perspectives on gender and empire in
Eastern Europe. We see several particular lacunae in the existing
literature. First, while scholars have investigated the entanglement
of nation, nationalism, nation-building and gender in Eastern Europe,
there is hardly any research on how actors identifying with dominant
communities have silently or visibly related to gender, in view of
their own and other communities. Second, integrative research into
gendered imperialism has been rare in relation to both competing and
parallel imperialisms within the region, as well as regarding the
consequences of the secondary global status of Eastern European
Empires for rethinking empire from Eastern Europe. Third, while there
has been an interest in counter-hegemonic intellectual (populist,
socialist, "third-worldist" ...) traditions in East European history,
this research has not focused on the gendered dimensions of these
intellectual traditions nor on the politics positively related to
these intellectual traditions. The history of state-socialist thinking
and politics of course forms one important exception, although also in
this case the "anti-imperial" dimension of the related gender project
has been rather neglected. Fourth, post-empire has more often than not
been investigated in terms of national histories or unspecified
"entangled" national histories, with ongoing imperial relationships
exiled into "context" or altogether absent. Hence, another research
lacuna is the gender of post-empire political settings in both
national and imperial, and more recently unequally globalized
configurations.
Legacies, the continuities and transformations of, as well as
challenges to empire, will be an important contribution to the ongoing
endeavor to re-think the gendered history of Eastern Europe into more
critical perspectives on global history.
Particular foci for contributions to /ASPASIA/ 9 could include:
-The invisible politics of domination (for example, the silences in
the politics of women's movements identifying with dominant nations;
imperial constructions of the gender order; gendered occidentalism;
gendered imperial international law; ongoing inequality in East/West
relations, etc.).
- Entangled constructions of gender in the relationship between
several communities of different status (for example. legal pluralism;
mutual gendered constructions and ascriptions; the difference the
state makes).
- Periphery as center---decolonializing approaches (for example, the
gendered dimensions of anti-capitalist and "populist" thought from
Eastern Europe; gender beyond the nation in nationalist settings;
gender in peripherialized economies; gender without the state, and so
on).
- Comparative and entangled imperialism (for example,
Habsburg-Ottoman-Russian comparisons; Eastern European vs./in relation
to Western empires; the Soviet "empire" in the global order;
borderlands; comparative engendering of area studies, etc).
- Imperial orders of post-empire (for example, post/imperial politics
of knowledge production; gender order and unequal development, and so
on).
In addition to contributions on the theme of gender and empire in
Eastern Europe, the /ASPASIA/ editors welcome submissions on all
topics related to women's and gender history in Central, Eastern, and
Southeastern Europe on an on-going basis.
Submissions of up to 8,000 words (including notes) can be sent to
Francisca de Haan (Aspasia Editor-in-Chief) at dehaanf@ceu.hu or to
Melissa Feinberg at mfeinberg@history.rutgers.edu. For more
information, please write to one of the editors or visit

CFP: Informal Practices & Structures in Eastern Europe & Central Asia, University of Fribourg, Switzerland (Nov 21.-23, 2013)
Deadline: May 2, 2013
The Academic Swiss Caucasus Net (ASCN), in cooperation with the Regional
Research Promotion Program (RRPP) and the Interfaculty Institute for
Central and Eastern Europe at the University of Fribourg (IICEE), with

Innovation (SERI), is pleased to organise an international conference
onInformal Practices and Structures in Eastern Europe and Central Asia, to
take place at the University of Fribourg (Switzerland) on 21-23 November
2013.
The conference offers a forum for the presentation and discussion of
on-going research projects. It will consist of thematic panels,
roundtables and keynote speeches bringing together researchers from
various disciplines.
Objectives
The conference aims to identify and compare forms, functions
and meanings of informal structures and practices in Eastern Europe and
Central Asia under the following topics: politics, law, economy,
education or, more generally, society. In this sense it will be focused
on the dialogue between different disciplines and perspectives with
regard to informality. This will be one of the first and largest
international conferences focusing on informal structures and practices
in Eastern Europe and Central Asia in a multidisciplinary perspective,
covering the problem of informality in different social systems and
contexts. It will cover forms of informality in politics (informal
governance, networks of power, clientelism, corruption, etc.), the
economy (shadow economies, informal labour markets, etc.), migration,
education or other social practices in society within focus of
anthropologists and sociologists. The conference will ask for the
definition of fields or contexts that demonstrate the certain forms of
informality that are more peculiar, persistent or typical for certain
regions in Eastern Europe and Central Asia, for example that of the
post-Soviet context. To what extent can they be considered transitional
or a structural phenomenon in Eastern Europe and Central Asia? What are
the social effects of certain practices? And to what extent are informal
structures in Eastern Europe and Central Asia different from those in
established democracies?
Eligibility: The call for papers is open to PhD students and recent PhD
graduates (2008 or later) dealing with the conference topic in their research
activities. The topics may be addressed from a political science,
sociological, anthropological or economic perspective.
Geographic Area: Submitted papers must focus empirically and/or
theoretically on the countries and regions of Eastern Europe and Central Asia, i.e., the new
EU member states of Central- and Eastern Europe, the Balkans and the
(non-Baltic) Post-Soviet countries (Russia, Ukraine, Belorussia,
Moldova, Southern Caucasus or Central Asia).
Topics
Papers should cover one or several of the following themes or
fields of research related to informal practices or institutions. They
should focus on the interplay between formal and informal institutions
or practise. In addition, they should focus on concrete cases or the
identification of specific forms of informal practices and institutions.
Papers handling specific forms of informal practices, such as
clientelism or corruption, should discuss their topic in the framework
of the formal / informal distinctions.
• Informality and Politics: Informal institutions vs. formal institutions
in politics, informal
practices and structures at governmental levels, parliaments, political
parties, state bureaucracies and, more generally, at the level of
political and economic elites.
• Informality, Society and Culture: Informality and cultural diversity,
informal practices in multi-ethnic societies, minority-related informal
practices.
• Informality and Economy: Shadow or parallel economies, informality in
labour markets, etc.
• Informality and Law: Informal practices in legislation and judiciary
processes, the problem of ‘rule of law’.
• Informality in Other Fields and Social Systems: Migration-related
informality, informality in education and health
systems, informality in civil society, the Church and its organisations.
• Transversal Topics: Certain transversal topics are present in the
aforementioned themes
above. They are particularly important in the context of this
conference: Informal governance, power networks, corruption,
clientelism, patrimonialism, criminal networks and "post-socialist
informality", i.e., the continuity or discontinuity of informal
practices from the socialist period. Moreover, we also welcome papers
approaching these topics with both theoretical and methodological
aspects of informal practices and institutions in Eastern Europe.
The selected candidates will have the opportunity to present and discuss
their paper in a thematic panel.

CFP: Radical Nationalism in Ukraine Yesterday and Today
Deadlines: June 1, 2013 (for non-Russian papers yet to be translated); July 1, 2013 (for Russian papers)
ZIMOS, the Institute for Central and East European Studies of The Catholic
University of Eichstaett-Ingolstadt, in Upper Bavaria, invites research
papers for its interdisciplinary Russian-language open-access web journal
"Forum for Contemporary East European History and Culture"
http://www1.ku-eichstaett.de/ZIMOS/forumruss.html.
The Russian "Forum" has been published twice per year, since
2004, as a scholarly WWW periodical supplementing ZIMOS's printed
German-language "Forum fuer osteuropaeische Ideen- und
Zeitgeschichte." See
http://www.ku-eichstaett.de/forschungseinr/zimos/publikationen/zeitschrift_forum/
We will publish a special section of the "Forum" on
ultra-nationalism in Ukraine, in the journal's 19th web-edition.
Submitted papers may deal with both, ukrainophone, ethnocentric
historic/current right-wing extremism (e.g. OUN-B, "Svoboda"), and
russophone, pan-Slavic historic/current radical anti-Westernism
(e.g. PSPU, "Rodina"). This Russian-language WWW project parallels
somewhat similar English- and Ukrainian-language collected papers projects
currently implemented within the journals "Communist and Post-Communist
Studies," "Russian Politics and Law," and "Ukraina Moderna," as well as by
the Friedrich Ebert Foundation.
We require properly footnoted, scholarly researched, well-structured, and
thoroughly edited Russian-language texts with a length of no less than
4,000 and no more than 14,000 words. Papers should be based on primary as
well as secondary sources, which are fully listed and adequately
presented, in footnotes.
Papers accepted content-wise for publication will only be published in the
case of a proper adaptation of their linguistic quality and formal style

Call for Papers: On the Spatial Epistemology of Politics, or How We Know Politics Through Space: Essays for Design Studies'
Deadline: April 8, 2013
We're currently soliciting papers for 'On the Spatial Epistemology of
Politics'. The deadline for submission is April 08, 2013 via the website
www.spaceandpolitics.org
'On the Spatial Epistemology of Politics, or How We Know Politics Through
Space: Essays for Design Studies' is a forthcoming edited book that
explores how spaces are political and how politics is spatial. Co-edited
by Harvard PhD candidates Delia Wendel and Fallon Samuels Aidoo, the book
is funded in part by the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the
Fine Arts.
What knowledge of politics is produced through space? How have the
politics of contention and consensus affected our built environment, and
vice versa? Through spaces of protest, occupation, segregation, neglect,
and spaces of deliberation, negotiation, reconciliation, and
commemoration, we have become familiar with the production of space as a
mode of political consciousness, representation and engagement. Our global
history is replete with examples of these political spaces arising from
explicit designs for political purposes or transformations through
politicization ex post facto. This call for papers solicits original
research to explore the politics of contention and consensus in spatial
forms and practices.
We are soliciting papers from a wide range of disciplinary and
geographical concentrations to explore how spatial practices and forms
produce knowledge of political conflict and consensus. The full Call for
Papers and additional information on the book can be found at
www.spaceandpolitics.org You can also
contact the co-editors Delia and Fallon at:

CFP Conference: Public Values and Politico-Administrative Cultures: Russian and International Contexts
Deadline: April 15, 2013
IPSA RC 48-Administrative Culture together with the Russian Association of Political Science cordially invite you to submit proposals for the seminar “Public Values and Politico-Administrative Cultures: Russian and International Contexts”, which will be held in the Saint-Petersburg State University, St.-Petersburg, Russia on June 21- 22, 2012.
This joint initiative arose due the growing academic demand for a discussion of theory of public values and new challenges for public administration and administrative culture.
The concept of “public value” can help to avoid the narrow and over-simplified approaches that have sometimes dominated in the past (PM and NPM) and it offers a useful way of setting out the ultimate goals of public administration reforms. It is especially important for public service reform because the public value theory does have the potential to prompt a different way of thinking and talking about these issues, as well as pointing towards some practical ways forward.
The seminar itself will be multidisciplinary in character and open to legal, philosophical, political, sociological and other perspectives. And the main goal of the seminar is to unite efforts of various scientific approaches to the public values research and to analyze contemporary tendencies of development of political and administrative cultures in Russia and in the world.
Working language is English and Russian.
The number of participants is 40.
Deadline for the applications is 15 April, 2013 (early application is welcome).
Information on the accepted proposals and the invitation letters will be sent since 30 April, 2013.
Please, send the abstract (200 words) with the information on yourself (name, university, position, contact tel., e-mail) to Liudmila Vedmetskaya: values.seminar2013@gmail.com
Coordinators: Rosamund Thomas (Cambridge University)

Call for Chapters: Geo-Regional Competitiveness in East Central Europe, the Baltic Countries, and Russia
Deadline: April 30, 2013
Introduction
Globalization affects people, organizations, nations, and regions. It exerts strong impacts on the driving forces and business landscape, creating and changing strategic opportunities and pressures for economic development, growth, employment, and sustainability. East Central Europe (ECE), the Baltics, and Russia play an increasingly important role in the European region both as emerging markets and competitive players. In contrast to Western European nations and business entities, ECE, the Baltics, and Russia receive more limited and sporadic coverage in business literature. The changing dynamics in the European region and beyond, the unfolding political-economic challenges across the European Union, as well as the rising global power of emerging economic powers such as Brazil, China, India, Russia, and others require knowledge, skills, and methodological platforms inducing strategies and operations in the new and ever changing business landscape. In turn, this facilitates the need for strategic competitive analysis on the national, regional, and company levels. The proposed book strives to contribute to the body of knowledge addressing and connecting these issues into the integrative comparative regional context.

CFA: 2013 Summer Research Laboratory at Illinois
The Summer Research Laboratory (SRL) on Russia, Eastern Europe, and Eurasia is open to all scholars with research interests in the Russian, East European and Eurasian region for eight weeks during the summer months from June 10 until August 2. The SRL provides scholars access to the resources of the University of Illinois Slavic collection within a flexible time frame where scholars have the opportunity to seek advice and research support from the librarians of the Slavic Reference Service (SRS). Graduate students and junior scholars will also have opportunity to attend a specialized workshop on Scholarly and Literary Translation from June 10-15, 2013.
For graduate students, the SRL provides an opportunity to conduct research prior to going abroad and extra experience to refine research skills. Students will also have the opportunity of seeking guidance from specialized librarians skilled in navigating resources pertaining to and originating from Russia, Eastern Europe, and Eurasia.
The SRS is an extensive service that provides access to a wide range of materials that center on and come from: Russia, the Former Soviet Union, Czech and Slovak Republics, Former Yugoslavia, Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria, and Romania. The International & Area Studies Library, where the Slavic reference collections are housed, contains work stations for readers, a collection of basic reference works, and current issues of over 1,000 periodicals and 110 newspapers in Western and area languages.
The Slavic Reference Service provides access to several unique resources pertaining to the Russian, East European and Eurasian region. Currently, there are plans at the University of Illinois' to become the first library in the Western Hemisphere to gain access to the Russian State Library's Electronic Dissertations Database, which contains the full text of nearly 1 million dissertations in a wide variety of fields.
In addition, the SRS provides access to
* the only copy of the famous 594-volume Turkestanskii Sbornik of materials on Central Asia prior to 1917 available outside Uzbekistan;
* recent direct acquisitions from Central Asia which include the complete national bibliography of Kazakhstan (2002-2010) and the complete digitized national bibliography of Uzbekistan (1917-2009), both of which are not held by any other U.S. library;
* perhaps the most complete collection of Russian Imperial provincial newspapers (gubernskie vedomosti) in North America; and
* extensive print, digital, and microform holdings relating to Eastern Europe, including rare materials acquired via Keith Hitchins and other noted scholars.
