20 Years of EU Enlargement to the East. Interdisciplinary Approaches to the Baltic Sea Region

Twenty years ago, the EU underwent its most significant expansion, with ten new countries joining. In particular, this fundamentally changed the geo-political landscapes in the Baltic Sea region. For the first time, the closer Baltic Sea region was part of a supraregional and -national union. As the EU Enlargement was celebrated to overcome the European division, the lecture series sets its focus on changing of mutual perceptions of the entangled countries since 2004. Where do we find shared, in the sense of separated and common, networks, participation, discourses and narratives? Which turning points and long-term transformation processes shaped the region and shifted significantly perspectives within the region? Thus, the lecture series examines to what extent these political changes are (re-)shaping how we live together in this region, from environmental challenges to cultural cooperation, academic exchange, and labor migration. Furthermore, we want to discuss how mutual images, perceptions, and ideas about the region's respective 'other' neighbors have changed in media, literature, and film.
