<P><FONT SIZE=2>Dear colleagues,<BR>
<BR>
We are pleased to announce the Working Paper Series of the Research Network 1989:<BR>
<A HREF="http://www.cee-socialscience.net/1989/papers/index.html">http://www.cee-socialscience.net/1989/papers/index.html</A><BR>
<BR>
Over the past months, twenty-four new and exciting papers have been collected that reflect the 20th anniversary of the revolutions of 1989, and many important changes that have occurred in the two decades since then.<BR>
<BR>
New submissions to the Working Paper Series are very welcome – in accordance with the rules of the RN 1989.<BR>
<BR>
The twentieth anniversary of the revolutions of 1989 is overshadowed by a large conjunctural crisis in global economics, world politics and military relations – a conflagration that is said to be the most serious since World War II, and which is more and more often compared to the 1930s. We are looking for new papers that relate 1989 and 2009 and that investigate the likely consequences beyond 2009.<BR>
<BR>
