Press Release

6th Annual Convention of the
Association for the Study of Nationalities (ASN)

Columbia University, 5-7 April 2001
PRELIMINARY PROGRAM NOW ON THE WEB

The full preliminary program of the ASN Sixth Annual World Convention, the world's foremost gathering on nationalism and identity in the former Communist world, is now available on the ASN web site. [Visitors to our web site must simply follow the link from the homepage to ANNUAL CONVENTION, then 2001 Conference]. The Convention will feature 108 panels, spread over eleven sessions from Thursday April 5, 1 PM, to Saturday April 7, in the evening. More than 500 people will be on panels.

All post-Soviet areas will be covered in tremendous depth, with sixteen panels on the Balkans, fifteen on Central Europe (including the Baltics), fourteen on Central Asia (including Turkey, China, and Mongolia), thirteen on the Russian Federation, eleven on Ukraine, six on the South Caucasus, and two dozens on thematic and cross-regional themes. Special roundtables will include "The Future of Peacekeeping Operations," organized by David Laitin; "Russia and the Western Media," featuring Stephen F. Cohen; "The Gongadze Case and Kuchmagate," Ukraine's ongoing political scandal; "The Second Chechen War," on French reporter Anne Nivat's book Chienne de guerre; "The Collapse of Yugoslavia," with Susan Woodward; and "Democracy and National Identity," with Jack Snyder.

Eleven recent documentaries and feature films, exploring ethnonational and identity issues in the post-Communist world, will be shown at the convention, including A TRIAL IN PRAGUE, on Czechoslovakia's postwar Slansky Trial, by New York director Zuzana Justman. The film lineup also includes GULAG, HOTEL MACEDONIA, CROATIA 2000, WAR IN THE LAND OF THE MUJAHEDDIN, THE THREE LIVES OF EDUARD SHEVARNADZE, GOOD KURDS/BAD KURDS, THE PUNISHMENT and several others.

Non-region specific panels at the convention will include:

  • Nationality and Language in the New Post-Soviet Censuses (two panels)
  • Borders and Security (two panels)
  • The Political Economy of Civil Wars
  • Liberalism and Nationalism
  • Secession in Comparative Perspective
  • Ethnic Cleansing in the Twentieth Century
  • International Migration and Nation-Building
  • NATO/EU Expansion
  • Resolving Self-Determination Conflicts Through Complex Power Sharing
  • The Challenge of Ethnic Conciliation

    • The convention is consolidating its status as the World Annual Event on Nationalities Studies. As in the past, over one hundred and fifty panelists will be travelling from overseas for the event (plus an additional three dozens from Canada). Almost 40 percent of paper-givers are international participants (and this does not include the large amount of non-US born participants currently residing in the United States).

    A growing number of research institutions are sponsoring panels at the convention. In addition to the Harriman Institute, which is hosting the convention, and the Watson Institute (Brown U), which is co-sponsoring, the list includes the European Center for Minority Issues (Germany); the European Academy Bolzano (Italy); the European Balkan Network (U of Bologna, Italy); the Council on Foreign Relations; the Open Society Institute; the International Peace Academy; the Carnegie Council on Ethics and International Affairs; the Institute for the Study of Conflict, Ideology, and Policy; Freedom House, and the Shevchenko Scientific Society. The French Institute of Political Studies, which is organizing the ASN co-sponsored conference "Nationality and Citizenship in Post-Communist Europe" on 9-10 July 2001 in Paris, will also have a strong presence at the convention.
