Starting on 2 April, we're co-hosting an online roundtable series, 'Borders and Mobilities in Eurasia', together with @ZMO_Berlin and @UniEastFinland's VERA Centre for Russian and Border Studies. The first event is on 'Imperial and Soviet Borderlands'. zmo.de/en/events/lecture-ser…

Roundtable Series by CREES, ZMO and the VERA Centre

Borders and frontier zones are particularly interesting sites for interdisciplinary study: they can stimulate the potential for new movements, thus making new trade or other exchange opportunities

Some reflections on the latest elections in Bulgaria 🇧🇬 for ⁦@LSEEuroppblog⁩ from Emilia Zankina, Yuxiang Lin and me. ⁦@CEDAR_Bham⁩ ⁦@BhamPolsis⁩ ⁦@TempleUniv⁩ ⁦@ProfTimBale⁩ ⁦@sarahobolt⁩ ⁦@JanRovny⁩ blogs.lse.ac.uk/europpblog/2…

Bulgaria's latest parliamentary election on 27 October 2024 – the seventh it has held since 2021 – is unlikely to produce a stable government.
