"Legacies of Conflict, Decolonisation and the Cold War"
Working Seminar
LSE IDEAS, London School of Economics
Instituto Portugues de Relacoes Internacionais (IPRI)
Lisbon (Portugal)
28-29 May 2010
__________________________________________________
The recent history of Southern Africa has enormous importance for the
contemporary world, in terms of both inter and intra state relations,
and the linkages/ruptures between African states and movements.
Building upon a successful conference in May 2009 which brought
together both established and new scholars in the field of Southern
African studies in the 1970s and 1980s, LSE IDEAS and the Portuguese
Institute of International Affairs (IPRI) are organizing a second
working seminar in Lisbon on 28/29th May 2010. This meeting will
address the legacies of decolonization, conflict and the Cold War for
contemporary Africa. The organizers invite the submission of
abstracts (250-300 words maximum) on the political, diplomatic,
military, ideological and social legacies of the Cold War era on
African states and societies, and new perspectives on the inheritance
of the struggle between nationalist liberation and white minority
rule, external actors and agencies.
The conference organizers particularly welcome submissions on the
following topics:
- international dimension of regional transitions
- legacies of decolonisation and Cold War
- challenges for nationalist movements as parties of government
- post Cold War transitions: violence and civil war
- transitional justice and reconciliation
- war and memory
- returning European migrations
- continuities/ruptures of regional and international relations
- the role of education and the media
Call for Papers Deadline: 31st December 2009.
