The Institute for Balkan Studies and Centre of Thracology at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences is pleased to invite you to the round table “Own and Foreign”, which will take place on March 20–21, 2025, in the Grand Hall of the Institute (Sofia, 45 Moskovska Street). This academic forum will feature presentations on local and national practices, traditions, and ideas, examined in comparison with those of others - the different, the foreign. The discussion aims to frame the topic within a broad political, economic, cultural, and ideological context.
Following a double-blind peer review, selected papers will be considered for publication in the journal The Balkans, a periodic edition of the Institute focusing on cultural, historical, political, economic, and other issues related to the Balkans in their European and global context (https://www.balkani-bg.com/en/).
