about Southeast Europe and with the countries of the region (see:
*www.sogde.org/suedosteuropa-gesellschaft/southeast-europe-association/
<https://ta9f7a6d9.emailsys1a.net/c/63/2001843/667/0/2666958/1165/131895/a9dfa44acb.html>*
).
*From September 30th to October 4th, 2019*, the SOG will hold its * 58.
International Academic Week (in German: Internationale Hochschulwoche)* to
provide a forum for exchange and communication by bringing together
experienced scholars and junior researchers doing empirical research on
Southeast Europe.
*The conference venue is the Akademie für Politische Bildung in Tutzing on
Lake Starnberg /Germany*. *The conference language will be English.*

The International Academic Week is one of the SOG`s most important events
addressing early career scholars (master and doctoral students as well as
Post-Doc researchers) from German-speaking countries, from Southeast Europe
and other European countries. This year`s event focuses on Borders in
Southeast Europe with an interdisciplinary approach* under the academic
direction of Dr. Jutta Lauth-Bacas (Cologne and Athens) and Prof. Dr.
Christoph K. Neumann (Munich)*.

The Southeast Europe Association`s International Academic Weeks aims at
promoting academic discussions and international networking of leading
specialists and younger academics. *This year`s interdisciplinary Academic
Week addresses students, researchers and scientists from various
disciplines, especially from Migration Studies, History, Cultural
Anthropology, Political Science, Cultural Studies, Sociology, Economic
Sciences, Political Sciences, International Relations, etc. to support the
academic exchange and scientific analysis regarding Europe`s Southeastern
borders.*

*Early career scholars (MA and Ph.D. students and Post-Doc researchers)
with an academic background in history, sociology, political sciences,
geography, social sciences or social anthropology who are focusing their
present research on borders in Southeast Europe are cordially invited to
apply for an active participation. A selected number of these scholars will
get the opportunity to briefly present themselves and their projects.*

*Closing date for application: 31st of May 2019*
*Please send your application (including a short outline of your paper with
approximately 250 words and a short CV) to the organisers of the
conference:*
Dr. Jutta Lauth Bacas (*jutta.lauth.bacas at gmail.com
<jutta.lauth.bacas at gmail.com>*), Prof. Dr. Christoph K. Neumann
(*christoph.neumann at lmu.de
<christoph.neumann at lmu.de>*)  and to the Southeast Europe Association
(*info at sogde.org
<info at sogde.org>*).
Please also include your university affiliation and contact information
when submitting the proposal.
*Travel and Accomodation:*
All applicants accepted for active participation are invited guests of the
Southeast Europe Association (travel expenses, boarding and lodging) during
the whole event. It is expected that scholars with SOG-grants participate
at the entire conference (September 30th-October 4th, 2019) in Tutzing
(close to Munich, see *https://www.apb-tutzing.de/english*/
<https://ta9f7a6d9.emailsys1a.net/c/63/2001843/667/0/2666958/1165/131891/3ef7cd6169.html>

Travel expenses can be usually covered in the amount of a 2nd class train
ticket to/from Tutzing. In cases of lacking accessibility with train or bus
we will check options for travel with alternative means like inexpensive
flight connections.

*Conference Topic*
The tide of nationalism and newly-independent nation states that swept the
western hemisphere and much of the rest of the world in the nineteenth
century created a set of border dynamics that are arguably still in play in
the early twenty first century. As scholars such as Saskia Sassen and
Charles Maier have noted, these states sought to assert exclusive
territorial sovereignty in ways that empires and feudal societies often did
not. Their success created not only the free, rights-holding citizens at
the centre of nation-centred histories, but also stateless peoples whose
territories were subsumed or bisected by international borders, and who in
turn have often been marginalized in historical scholarship.
A number of events that are of considerable long-term, as well as
immediate, importance to the shaping of the modern world's management of
boundaries took place along the frontiers of the Ottoman and Habsburg
Empires in Southeast Europe during the 1856-1919 period. The scale of
demographic upheaval within what became transitional borderlands
transformed the legal, political, and socioeconomic ways to delineate state
power and subject once communal lands to economic exploitation. The
unmanageable flux of migrants, often involuntarily uprooted because of wars
or natural disasters, both threatened and animated the whole of Southeast
Europe.
These processes continued in the twentieth century, when national states
attained a position that helped them strengthening and, indeed, frequently
sealing off their borders infrastructurally and ideologically. Of central
importance have been national dividing lines (which continue to be re-drawn
in the present), ideological rifts such as those created by the Cold War or
separations such as the creation of an European core that establishes and
argues about different regimes of access and closure toward the people and
territories of the Balkans and the Eastern Mediterranean.
At present, the borders of Southeast Europe are again being negotiated as
fledgling states such as Kosovo’s attempt to establish territorial
integrity and the regime of internal (such as the one between the parts of
Bosnia and Hercegovina) and external borders are subject of debate,
conflict and even strife. European integration works in the direction of
softening borders and abolishing some of their aspects (such as their
function as economic barriers) while, on the other hand, the EU and some of
their members states fortify their borders and strengthen the regimes in
order to stem global migration. After the fall of the Iron Curtain, many
kilometres of new border fences have been erected in the past decade at the
Greek-Turkish Border, at the Greek-Bulgarian border and the Hungarian
border to fence off the EU-territory from unwanted crisis migrants. In
September 2018, the European Commission decided on stronger EU borders and
to increase the FRONTEX budget to a total amount of 11.3 billion EURO.
Parallel to these intensified securitization efforts, critical border
studies have developed as a new field of interdisciplinary research. Social
sciences and humanities are co-operating, while immediate administrative,
political and economic concerns direct the attention of public opinion to
the question of borders. Redefinitions in legal, spatial and cultural terms
are needed. The European Union, to a large degree founded on the project of
softening and even abolishing internal borders, today appears to be defined
by its external border. The way to administer, guard and open it is at the
forefront of European debates.

*Topics to be addressed:*
·         From Empires to Nation States
·         Border Conflicts during the Cold War and Aftermath
·         Surveillance and Informality at Borders
·         The European Border Crisis and the Forgotten Balkan Route
·         European Integration and Southeast European Borders
·         Imagining and Performing Borders

*A Keynote will be given by Prof. Dr. Isa Blumi (Stockholm).*
