at Risk?' Seminar, June 16 - 18, 2006, Blagoevgrad, Bulgaria
Application deadline: May 15, 2006
Scope and Issues
This cycle is a line of seminars dedicated to contemporary societal developments
likely to increase social fragility and harm social cohesiveness. Three major
areas will be particularly accented: economic instability and precariousness,
ethnic and cultural contradictions, interpersonal and mental health problems. It
will develop the TISR Model (http://www.socialcapital-foundation.org/editorial_information/tisr_model.htm).
The objective is to shed light on the possibly destructive effects of these
developments, to discern the interactions between these three fields, and to
draft innovative social policy responses. The cycle may also raise the
appearance or comeback of important societal risks the understanding of which
involves a sociopolitical analysis, such as large public health issues, failures
of the food chain, geopolitical risks, and democracy issues in Western
countries.
