RESISTING AUTHORITARIANISM IN EURASIA
Civil Society and New Solidarities | 23–25 October 2024

The upcoming conference aims to explore political transformations in Eurasia from the perspective of various actors and institutions, with a particular emphasis on civil society organizations and political resistance. The conference will focus both on developments within authoritarian states and on how democracies have confronted the challenges posed by authoritarianism, including by resorting to armed resistance.

By addressing issues related to authoritarian resilience and spillover in the present and past, as well as themes such as legitimacy, civil resistance in times of war, and oppression, the conference seeks to shed light on the reshaping of political alliances and solidarities in the new era. It also aims to examine the cultural and historical origins of dictatorial as well as pluralistic regimes. Furthermore, the conference aims to explore how cultural, economic, and political attitudes have changed in times of profound crisis.
