The event will be hosted by the Griffith Business School, Griffith AsiaInstitute and co-hosted by NationalCentre for Research on Europe from University of Canterbury, New Zealand.

Theme of the conference: 30 Years sincethe Fall of the Berlin Wall. How Communism and Post-communism are tracking

Theyear 2019 will mark 30 years since the fall of the Berlin wall. This symbolicevent led to German unification and the collapse of communist party rule incountries of the Soviet-led Eastern bloc. Since then, the post-communistcountries of Central, Eastern and South-eastern Europe have tied theirpost-communist transition to deep integration into the West, including EUaccession. Most of these states have been able to relatively successfullytransform their previous communist political and economic systems, although thenon-Baltic post-Soviet states have generally been less successful in doing so.In contrast, communist countries in Asia, in particular China and Vietnam, havefocused their transformation on economic reforms and development while largelymaintaining communist party political dominance.

This conference seeks to address andcompare those diverse developments in communist and post-communist countriesand their relationship with the West from various angles. The conferenceorganisers welcome papers and panel proposals from a broad range of disciplines,including but not limited to: economics and finance, political science,history, sociology and cultural studies. The geographic focus of the conferenceis broad and includes countries of the former USSR, Eastern and South EasternEurope, and Asia. Studies focusing on other regions are alsowelcome.
