Date and Venue of the Conference: 31 March – 02 April 2011, Oradea, Romania.

Panels of the Conference

I. Political leadership and the borders of Europe during the Cold War

This section focus on the role of political leaders in changing the European borders during the Cold War. New post-war borders: physical, ideological, cultural, economic borders.

II. United Europe, Europe of the leaders: European borders from 6 to (+)27

This section specifies the role of different European and national leaders in the transformations of internal European borders in the process of passing from the Europe of 6 to Europe of 27 (or more, if the article is a prospective one). A considerable attention is paid to the role of the leaders in the process of “humanizing” the borders (i.e. realisation of Schengen space).

III. Border and leaders after the end of the Cold War: the disappearance/ appearance of the borders

This section highlights the role of the “toxic” and/or the “charismatic” leaders in the transformation of the borders, such as in the cases of former Czechoslovakia and/or of former Yugoslavia crisis; Moldova/Transnistri a crisis; Caucasian region crisis. This section proposes the challenge concentrated on the potential possibility of the “charismatic” leaders being “toxic” leaders simultaneously.

One thought on “Leaders of the Borders, Borders of the Leaders Conference, Romania

  1. Alex’s work seems very simplistic on the suacrfe, but his use of lighting, textures and colour,adds so much depth to the typography. He seems to have a unique style from his cursive pieces to the strong bold type faces. His Oradea piece is very impressive, the text is strong enough not to be overtaken by the ornate background, but not to strong to overpower it. The Work & Play one is a piece I’ve seen featured on many site, which is a great credit to his talent!
