2nd Conference 1995 in Budapest

'European Societies: Fusion or Fission?' from 30 August to 2 September 1995

The theme of the conference, ‘European Societies: Fusion or Fission’, is intended to provide a focus on contemporary concerns about both tendencies for integration within the European Union and for disintegration as a result of ethnic and national tensions, but not to neglect the wider context of the transformation of gender and class relations.
