Conférence : Phantom Borders in the Political Behaviour and Electoral Geography
Phantom Borders in the Political Behaviour and Electoral Geography in East Central Europe
Description
Tagung des Centre Marc Bloch (Berlin) und der Europa-Universität Viadrina Frankfurt (Oder) im Rahmen des BMBF-Projekts "Phantomgrenzen in Ostmitteleuropa".
Conference of the Centre Marc Bloch (Berlin) and European University Viadrina (Frankfurt/Oder) within the BMBF-funded project “Phantom Borders in East Central Europe”
Programme
We understand phantom borders as political borders, which politically/legally do not exist anymore but seem to appear in different forms and modes of social action and practices today, as for example voting as one part of political behaviour. Considering the visibility of historical borders in the territorial distribution of election results in Poland – many more countries in Europe and the world could be mentioned – the question occurs if or if not this visibility indicates a persistence of historical (social or political) spaces or why else these phantom borders seem to be visible.
Within the conference we want to elaborate on different territorial particularities concerning cultural, historical, social, linguistic, religious and economic aspects which may affect political behaviour and electoral geography.
The presentations will focus on the following questions:
In what way is history reflected in political behaviour, as in election results?
At which scales and in which way phantom borders appear and disappear?
How does the national and regional governance context affect political behaviour?
How does the external governance / foreign affairs context / transnational networks affect political behaviour?
What role do (Geo)Political Images play in (re)constructing phantom borders?
