Constructing new identities in transforming Europe. Enlargement and integration: are they compatible? The 6th Aleksanteri Conference

Summary/Abstract: The 6th annual conference of the Aleksanteri Institute for Russian and East-European Studies took place in the favourable cadre created by the Finnish Presidency of the EU. Consequently, the conference enjoyed the support of the Finnish Ministry for Foreign Affairs and the presence of Dr Erkki Tuomioja, a historian by training and the Finnish titular of this portfolio. Markku Kangaspuro who has masterminded this conference underlined already in the opening words the significance of the identities and of the transformations they have undertaken at the turn of the new millennium for such important processes as the European construction and the European dialogue with other cultures and entities as well as the difficulties and disagreements in defining Europe as against “the other(s).”
