3rd Call for Papers ECPAM’2014 (November 6-8, 2014) is an European Virtual Conference organized by the Eastern European Research Group on Political Attitudes and Mentalities (EPAM)and Faculty of Political Science (FSPUB) at the University of Bucharestin Romania. The conference will be held online as virtual conference. The aim of this conference is to provide an European interdisciplinary research framework, where the participants can share their research ideas on their recent projects. Faculty, experts, academics, doctoral and post-doctoral researchers are most welcome to participate in the conference and exchange research findings in the frontier areas of classic and computational political science. This year, the ECPAM’2014 general theme is: Eastern European Post-Communist Societies: A Look from Inside on the Eastern European Political Cultures after the Fall of Berlin Wall. During the two decades after the Fall of Berlin Wall, Eastern European post-communist regimes faced powerful challenges: transition to market economy and democracy, consolidation of democracy, integration in the EU and N.A.T.O. In spite of considerable efforts, people’s political attitudes and their mentalities look still marked by the communist heritage, by their lack of trust in democracy and market economy, and by the populist electoral campaigns. Political culture theories studying the Eastern European history and politics could not fully cover and explain the nature of these political changes, and the emerging political phenomena. Late developments in Ukraine astonished Europe and not only, revived old fears and new cold war tendencies. Eastern Europeans look themselves at these political and social evolutions, and their explanations and perceptions are often different from those of others. No political culture model, no value change model could so far give a believable and complete explanation of what actually communism left behind when evicted from Eastern Europe. And what we could expect from the short-,mid-, and long-term political evolutions in this part of the world? ECPAM’20114 offers the interdisciplinary framework for revealing this “look from inside”. ============================================= Dr. Camelia Florela Voinea Associate Professor Political Sciences, International Relations and Security Studies Dept.
