Politics and the State: Prospects for Democracy in Contemporary Europe

Objective

An appraisal of recent transformations in the role and character of the state in Europe requires a reassessment of hitherto prevailing theoretical approaches. In an attempt to re-evaluate theories relevant to the explanation of current events our Association has undertaken the co-ordination of two international conferences. The first event, organised by the Department of Political Science and Public Administration of the University of Athens and in collaboration with the Department of Political Science of the University of Paris VII, focuses on the role of the contemporary state. The conference takes place on the occasion of the twentieth anniversary of the death of Nicos Poulantzas Entitled 'Politics Today', it gathers an impressive number of renown academics based in Europe and the USA (see attached programme).

The second conference dwells upon the problematic of democratisation in Europe, focussing on the conditions for and obstacles to democratic practices beyond the nation state. Organised by the Hellenic Political Science Association (HPSA) in collaboration with colleagues from the Bulgarian and German Associations of Political Science, the conference aims at providing a forum discussion of alternative views on the national question and international rights. It should be noted that HPSA is an umbrella organisation grouping political scientists and other practitioners and academics in related disciplines. Based in Athens and linked to sister organisations in both the EU and Balkan countries, our Association can claim to be in a unique position to foster links between academics from different intellectual and cultural backgrounds.
