It will advance the knowledge on the sociogenesis of contemporary societies in East-Central Europe by focusing on the continuities and change. It should also contribute to our understanding of the dynamics of integration with the capitalist world system and how ECE countries place within the structures of global dependencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following this aim, we seek to pursue several questions: what was state socialism in comparison with capitalism? Where did the impulses for changing the socialist system come from? How new research on state socialism change our perception of the regime change of 1989? How to integrate the socialist experience into the framework of global history?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We invite scholars combining historical research with the methods of social sciences to contribute to this conference. We particularly encourage empirical research focusing on long-term processes. We also welcome new theoretical conceptualizations of the evolutions of state socialism and the capitalist transformations.
