Call for panels and papers for the 8th East Asian Conference on
Conflict and Harmony in Eurasia in the 21 Century:
Dynamics and Aesthetics
CHUNG-ANG UNIVERSITY, SEOUL, KOREA
June 3-4, 2017Conference Theme:
The Korean Association of Slavic and East European Studies (KASEUS) will host the
8th East Asian Conference on Slavic and Eurasian Studies, with the support of
CAREECAS (China) and JCREES (Japan) at Chung-Ang University in Seoul on June 3-
4, 2017.
Since the collapse of USSR in 1991, there has emerged a dynamic fluctuation of conflict
and cooperation in the transitional process of the post-socialist states of Eurasia. On the
one hand, active economic cooperation among Eurasian countries and their neighboring
countries led to the establishment of the EAEU (Eurasian Economic Union). On the other
hand,there still exist many kinds of territorial disputes and civil wars in the Eurasian
countries and clashes of social and cultural values.
This phenomenon is not unique to Eurasia. Various conflicts remain around us. Sociopolitical conflicts in the process of democratization and civil wars result in increasing
numbers of migrants and refugees, posing challenges for democratic values, and
strengthening the political influenceof right-wing political parties.
This global proliferation of conflicts raises concerns about the return of geo-political
conflict and the Cold War. However, conflicts can provide a society with dynamics that
are necessary for the development of a society through a process of proper management,
although failure to manage conflicts can cause a serious crisis. For this reason,
understanding the conflicts in the post-socialist period can serve as a foundation for
understanding the prosperous future of Eurasia, including Northeast Asia.
The year of 2017 is the centennial anniversary of the Russian Revolution. The Russian
Revolution provides the opportunity to consider conflicts encompassing freedom, equality,
and peace. The Russian Revolution triggered phenomenal changes from manyperspectives of international affairs, a nation’s politics, individual’s private life and so
on.
In this vein, the 8th East Asian Conference will deal with the following topics:
1. A hundred years since the Russian Revolution: Social values
and their changes in Eurasia
2. Foreign policies of Eurasian countries and international conflict
3. Mechanisms of international and domestic cooperation in Eurasia
4. Humanistic perspectives on Eurasian conflict and cooperation
5. Comparative Cultural Approaches to Eurasian Countries
