Postcolonial and Postsocialist Interdependencies Across Borders

The current wars and conflicts have prompted a renewed interest in the nexus between post-socialism and post-colonialism. There is growing recognition of the need to conceptualize the interdependencies between post-socialist and post-colonial sets of social relations in order to gain a deeper understanding of the global power constellations and to develop academic imaginaries of less violent futures.

Bringing together researchers from various disciplinary fields, such as sociology, political sciences, education, geography, history, ethnology, and gender studies, the group aims to study long-term complex interdependencies between postsocialist and postcolonial relations, focusing on the cross-border interactions and entanglements within and between former socialist countries and regions.

The main goal is to develop a conceptual framework that recognizes these interactions as shaped by history and subject to change. The endeavour is guided by the main research question: How do postsocialist and postcolonial relations interact to shape global interdependencies and dynamics of domination and subordination?
