Date
Sep. 12, 2019
Duration
83 months
Description
Changes in the Arab region today call for analysis from the region’s historians and social scientists in order to understand the context and direction of current events. In collaboration with an international network of institutional partners, Central European University’s Striking from the Margins project is exploring new analytical frameworks to facilitate greater understanding of the historical depth of today’s developments. With the goal of contributing to both research and policy actions, the project is advancing understanding of social, political and geographic processes that move certain communities to the political center. Corporation funds will support research, two academic conferences, and publications.

Duration
37 months
Description
The explosion of violence in the name of religion following the Arab Spring and the dis-aggregation of states have intensified the search for instruments enabling a more cogent understanding of a seemingly intractable tangle of interconnected conflicts. In line with the Transnational Movements and the Arab Region program focus on advancing new understandings of social and militant movements in the region, and its aim of integrating expertise from the region into policy formulation, Central European University’s (CEU) Center for Religious Studies (CRS) launches a program with analytical and international security implications. Partner institutions including the Issam Fares Institute for Public Policy and International Affairs and Stony Brook University Institute for Global Studies will collaborate on the project’s workshop series and will each organize project conferences to integrate regional and international partners.
