New Divisions in Europe
Friday 20 and Saturday 21 October 2000
London
European Research Centre
Until 1989 it was possible (even if simplistic) to regard the
fundamental division in Europe as that between the Soviet and Western dominated blocs. Since then the
situation has become so much more complex that there is no agreed way of representing it. However, the
hopes of 1989 have not been realised: there is not "one Europe", but a continent in which many of the
most salient divisions still bear the imprint of the Cold War. While there is controversy over the causes
of these new divisions, there is some consensus about their existence.
This conference has two
major aims:
1) It analyses the situation since 1989 asking how and why the new divisions emerged.
2) It examines possible solutions for some of the key divisions
In collaboration with The
Ukraine Centre, University of North London and the journal, Labour Focus on Eastern Europe.

Research Centre The Centre's interests include European Integration, analysis of the interactions
between the European Union and such areas as East Central Europe and the South, and studies of individual
European countries. Its focus is upon the social sciences, broadly defined, and its work is based on
independent, critical approaches, with a commitment to the principles of equality, democracy and internationalism.
The European Dossier series is published by Kogan Page for the London European Research Centre. Where
appropriate, the Centre will undertake research for organisations which share its aims.
