The Empire of the E RICHARD S DESCOINGS Tsars and the Russians, the major work of Anatole C Leroy-Beaulieu, comes to mind. Leroy-Beaulieu, IEN President history professor here from 1880 to 1910 when of Sciences Po C this institution was called the Ecole Libre des ES Sciences Politiques, took regular trips to Russia P over a period of many years to update his book O - and gather material for his courses. ASN Taking inspiration from this tradition, Sciences Po has encouraged and facilitated the interna- tional mobility of its students, faculty and re- NATIONS EMPIRES searchers. The “Empires and Nations” confer- ence held in Paris this July 2008—which follows on the “Citizenship and Nationality” conference held here in July 2001—is the result of Sciences Po doctoral students and academics’ ongoing par- & ticipation in the ASN Conventions at Columbia University, New York. Sciences Po receives a high number of foreign stu- dents, professors and researchers, and has made periods abroad and the study of two foreign lan- guages compulsory for its students, the under- 3 EMPIRES AND NATIONS t standing being that the nation has never been a JOINT CONFEREN suitable framework in which to develop knowl- edge or train students. Imperialism, meanwhile, in any form, is an enemy of what was once called la république des lettres. Sciences Po has therefore willingly assumed the ef- forts required to realize this conference, and I am C very pleased to see it taking place here. Thanks to E funding assistance from the Ile de France region, S C a considerable number of French embassies, and IEN several research centers, we have been able to bring C together 220 researchers from 26 different coun- ES tries in 45 panels. P Let me extend a warm welcome to all participants O - and wish you a most productive gathering. t ASN EMPIRES NATIONS EMPIRES COUNTRIES REPRESENTED AT THE CONFERENCE & Armenia t Azerbaijan t Belgium t Bulgaria Canada t China t Estonia t France t Georgia Germany t Greece t Hungary t Italy Kazakhstan t Kyrgyzstan t Moldova Norway t Poland t Romania t Russia t Serbia Switzerland t Turkey t UK t Ukraine t USA 4 EMPIRES AND NATIONS t AN INTERNATIONAL OUTLOOK ike the “Citizens and Nationality” con- JOINT CONFEREN ference held at Sciences Po in 2001, this “Empires and Nations” conference is jointly organized by Sciences Po and the ASN. Multidisciplinarity, Comparative Studies, and varied observation scales are key features of both. The two conferences are are also linked themati- cally. The indigenous peoples of the colonial em- C pires were excluded from citizenship, while within E DOMINIQUE S COLAS the Soviet empire there was no political citizen- C ship and the nations were oppressed. IEN Director of the PhD Program C The break-up of the Soviet system generated a ES Russia and CIS, new wave of nation construction following the Sciences Po P one linked to decolonization—as well as new O - Conference forms of empire and imperialism. But rather than Director study imperialism in the 21st century, this confer- ASN ence aims to produce instruments for improving understanding of political and social structures by covering a broad time span and applying a reso- NATIONS EMPIRES lutely comparative approach, namely comparison of the continental empires. Our call for papers generated a vast number of proposals. Unfortunately, we could only accept a & quarter of them, providing matter for 45 panels. We do not aim to present an exhaustive panorama of situations or undertake a systematic study of categories, but rather to present research in prog- ress. And we can be very pleased to see so many doctoral and post-doc students among the pre- senters. 5 EMPIRES AND NATIONS t Aid from our sponsors enabled us to invite 35 col- JOINT CONFEREN leagues from Central and Eastern Europe and Asia; several others have come from these areas by their own means. 50 participants have come from North America and 100 from Western Europe. This conference was made possible by the ties cre- ated in the last ten years between teachers and re- C searchers at Sciences Po, EHESS and INALCO and E numerous participants at the Columbia University S C ASN conventions. It is the result of regular col- IEN laboration between a Paris university and an inter- C national research association. But it could not have ES been realized without our sponsors, particularly P the Ile de France region and a number of French O - embassies throughout the world. ASN Sciences Po teams, namely the Doctoral School, have played a crucial role. My warm thanks to Céline Ballereau for her administrative manage- NATIONS EMPIRES ment. And for handling panel and overall orga- nization we are all indebted to the current ASN president Dominique Arel; Alexandra Goujon, teacher at Sciences Po and the University of Dijon and Olivier Ferrando, a doctoral student at & Sciences Po. t 6 SCIENCES PO-ASN CONFERENCE ORGANIZING COMMITTEE t DIRECTOR Dominique Colas Sciences Po, Paris COORDINATING Dominique Colas Olivier Ferrando JOINT CONFEREN COMMITTEE Sciences Po, Paris Sciences Po, Paris Alexandra Goujon Dominique Arel U of Bourgogne U of Ottawa, Canada Sciences Po, Paris ASN President CONFERENCE Céline Ballereau EXECUTIVE Sciences Po, Paris ASSISTANT C E Dominique Arel Dominique Colas S INTERNATIONAL C PROGRAM U of Ottawa, Canada Sciences Po, Paris IEN COMMITTEE Florian Bieber Zsuzsa Csergo C U of Kent, UK Queen’s U, Canada ES Alain Blum Alexandra Goujon P EHESS, Paris U of Bourgogne O - Juliette Cadiot Olivier Ferrando ASN EHESS, Paris Sciences Po, Paris Sherrill Stroschein U College London, UK NATIONS EMPIRES CONVENTION Sciences Po U of Ottawa STAFF Gabrielle Chomentowksi Marie-Ève Bélanger Adrien Fauve Jean-François Ratelle Tania Shukan Philippe Roseberry & Odette Tomescu-Hatto SCIENCES PO Pascal Cauchy Lydwine Palix MANAGEMENT Hélène Naudet TEAM PROGRAM & Anne-Marie Arel COVER DESIGN (Montreal, Canada) < [email protected] > 7 EMPIRES AND NATIONS t FOREVER YOUNG he Association for the Study of Nation- JOINT CONFEREN alities (ASN) is the largest international network of scholars engaged in the study of national, identity, and state-building issues in a vast geographical area whose core, historically, included several empires. ASN has been hold- ing an Annual World Convention at Columbia University since 1996 and publishes the journals C Nationalities Papers and Ethnopolitics. E DOMINIQUE S AREL C “Empires and Nations” is the fifth European sum- IEN U of Ottawa, mer conference co-sponsored by ASN since 2001, Canada C and the second organized by Sciences Po, which ES ASN President launched the successful series of ASN summer P academic events in July 2001 with a conference on O - “Citizenship and Nationality.” Summer confer- ences were also held in Forli, Italy (2002), Warsaw ASN (2004) and Belgrade (2006). Even though ASN is 35 years old, it remains NATIONS EMPIRES young in spirit and profile, as more than a third of its paper presenters, in New York or at summer conferences, are doctoral students, and another third among the recent generation of scholars. This reflects the enormous interest that the field & of “national” – and empire – studies has continued to generate since the early 1990s. Being hosted by such a prestigious and internation- ally-known institution as Sciences Po is great honor for ASN.
