Objective
Invoking the mythological figures Castor and Pollux,the DIOSCURI project focuses on current encounters in Europe to predict the convergence between the twin economic cultures of the "East" and the "West".The research fields - entrepreneurship, governance and economic knowledge - will be explored in 4 East-Central European countries (the Czech Republic,Hungary, Poland and Slovenia) and in 4 countries of South-Eastern Europe (Bulgaria,Croatia, Romania and Serbia and Montenegro).The selection of the fields is based on the conviction that among the producers of economic culture, businesspeople,civil servants and economists exert a vast influence on the economic performance of the Union and the social cohesion between the old and the new member states.Instea d of relying on a simplistic scheme,in which the "strong Western" culture devours the "weak Eastern" one,the Consortium expect to find a great variety of lasting cultural hybrids in economic behaviour.Thus Eastern Enlargement will be studied in conjunct ion with its neglected counterpart, Western Enlargement. East-West encounters will generate a complex dynamics that includes cultural gaps, strategies to bridge the gaps,and compromises between cultures.In studying them,DIOSCURI will go beyond the world o f the acquis to discover forms of cultural coexistence which are hard to regulate ex ante.The project will bring together leading sociologists,political economists,historians,anthropologists and social policy experts in Central and Eastern/ Southern Euro pe.It will result in a set of field reports,country studies,a comparative analysis and policy recommendations for future accession rounds.The project co-ordination will be provided the Center for Policy Studies at the Central European University,in Budap est.Scientific leadership will be performed by the Research Director of the project based at the Institute for Human Sciences in Vienna and assisted by the International Advisory Board.
