Short description

Scientific conference with international participation

Given the decades-long socio-historical trends, and in a narrower sense especially geo-political events, which indicate the re-emergence of the East, we believe that questioning the patterns of intercultural communication between the Balkans and Eastern peoples is a very current academic topic. In other words, we believe that the end of the unipolar/west-centric global order constitutes the basis for the academic repositioning of the Balkans not only in the region and Europe, but also in the world. According to the above, the primary task of the scientific conference will not be exclusively to consider the patterns of (de)construction of Balkanist and/or Orientalist discourse, but also to spread awareness of past, existing and potential forms of cooperation between Balkan and Eastern peoples.
Description

In addition to the proposals directly covered by the main topic of the conference, the Scientific Committee of the conference will gladly accept other relevant topics, all with the aim of promoting interdisciplinarity and mutual exchange of ideas between researchers. In this sense, in addition to researchers in political science, sociology, journalism, communication and social work, we expect that researchers from other academic fields that question the relationship between the "Balkans" and the "East" (e.g., philosophy, history, ethnography, Arabic studies, Sinology, etc.) also take part in the conference. Accepted papers will be published in the thematic proceedings prior to the conference and in the Scientific Journal of the Faculty of Political Science in Banja Luka for Social Affairs POLITEIA (indexed in DOAJ, ERICH PLUS and CEEOL).

Confucius Institute at the University of Banja Luka is the co-organizer of the conference.

The conference will be held in hybrid format, both in the premises of the Faculty of Political Science, University of Banja Luka and online.
