  1. Presented by Violetta ZentaiCentral European University, Hungaryvzentai@osi.hu DIOSCURIEastern Enlargement - Western Enlargement:Cultural Encounters in the European Economy and Society After the Accession

  2. starting point The project focuses on current encounters in Europe to predict the convergence between the twin economic cultures of the “East” and the “West”. Instead of relying on a simplistic scheme, in which the “strong Western” culture devours the “weak Eastern” one, a great variety of lasting cultural hybrids in economic and social behavior is expected. Thus, Eastern Enlargement will be studied in conjunction with its neglected counterpart, Western Enlargement.

  3. objectives 1 Identifying cultural encounters 2 Mapping cultural gaps and bridging strategies 3 Exploring enduring conflicts and win-win situations 4 Assessing the Enlargement process from a beyond-the-acquis perspective 5 Confronting the populist rhetoric of contamination

  4. what to avoid? 1 Simplistic view of opposing “Eastern” and “Western” cultures 2 Identification of cultures with nations 3 Hierarchization of the two cultures (orientalism within Europe) 4 Seeing the Accession as bringing sudden cultural change
