We are going to hold an annual summer symposium from 16 to 18 of July 1997 at the Slavic Research Center, titled "Quest for Models of Coexistence: National and Ethnic Dimensions of Changes in the Slavic Eurasian World".

On this occasion we plan to present and discuss on various aspects of national and ethnic issues in order that several models of coexistence might eventually be attained.

Cessions are to be organized along the following topics:
coexistence of nationalities; politology of coexistence; imperium models of coexistence; language and nationalities issues; nationalities questions in Central Asia; region and identity; environment issues.

There will be organized also a special panel on the comparative analysis of the Slavic and Chinese transfigurations in transition.
