Despite not being major targets of immigration, countries in the CEE
region have recently shown a strong hostility towards refugees
arriving in Europe from conflict-stricken areas in the Middle East and
Africa. Some of these CEE countries are among the strongholds of
far-right political extremism in the continent, which in turn pushes
mainstream politics towards a stronger nationalist stance. Due to this
drift, a number of governments from the region tend to oppose
addressing the refugee crisis at a European level by mandatory refugee
distribution quotas, some instead pledging to defend Europe's
Christian roots, regardless their growing lack of workforce. These
developments eventually pose a challenge to visions of the EU as a
politically stable community with a common set of values grounded in
the respect of human rights. In such an environment, civil society
faces an increased responsibility in a range of areas, from
challenging Islamophobic narratives to monitoring the treatment of
refugees.<br>
<br>
Against this backdrop, we invite 20-minute presentations focusing on
good practices in addressing the challenges emerging in the following
areas:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>- The Refugee Crisis: Its Effects on Radical and Mainstream
Politics</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>- Racism, Xenophobia and Islamophobia: Recent Trends of Public
Attitudes</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>- Civil and Grassroots Responses to the Rise of Radical
Nationalism - From Countering Stereotyping Representations and Hate
Speech to Monitoring and Defending Human Rights</div>
<div><br>
- The Future of the EU's Asylum, Migration and Social Inclusion
Policies</div>
<div> <br>
Please send your abstract of up to 300 words and a short biography by
October 26, 2016, to arpad.bak@szubjektiv.org<br>
</div>
<div>The conference is part of the project "Debating New Phenomena
of Refugee Migration in Central Europe" co-funded by the European
Union.</div>
