Between 11 and 13 September 2024, the Regional Studies Association (RSA) organises its conference in Dubrovnik, Croatia.
Central and Eastern European (CEE) regions continue to undergo substantial internal and external restructuring. New patterns of regional differentiation and development, alternative development pathways, and different political projects, are all impacting the internal dynamics of CEE. Integrating into European and global networks, positioning in relation to the geopolitical manoeuvrings of the US, EU, China and Russia, and responding to international crises (e.g. migration, environmental, health), are just some of the major external dynamics impacting CEE and its place in the world. Regional research often ‘looks in’ at regions and regional development within and across CEE, or ‘looks out’ to beyond CEE.
The RSA CEE Conference in Dubrovnik provides an opportunity for researchers, policymakers, practitioners, and students working in all areas related to regional policy, regional development and regional studies to come together and discuss the changing internal and external dynamics of CEE. The conference organisers warmly invite sessions and papers which look at CEE from the inside out and others which look at CEE from the outside in. We are particularly keen to see contributions from those whose research speaks to both. An example here might be research that explores the strategic location of CEE in China’s Belt and Road Initiative by examining which places or regions stand to gain or lose the most as a result.
The event is inclusive and offers networking opportunities for all in the field.
The 2024 conference is organised in partnership with the University of Dubrovnik and in association with the Croatian Ministry of Regional Development and EU Funds and the Leibniz ScienceCampus Eastern Europe- Global Area (EEGA).
Conference fees depend on your status as RSA member or non-member and there are tiered members’ conference fees depending on the career stage.
