How are the values, identities, and representations of communities facing globalization shaped by attempts to influence the course of social change, and how do these cultural politics affect the fates of different strata, groups, and peoples? These are among the questions to be addressed by social scientists at a workshop focusing on East Central Europe (ECE), a region of extraordinary changes occasioned by communism's end, wars on its periphery, and entry to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, European Union, and other transnational organizations. Workshop participants from the US and ECE will consider how globalization is understood and represented in different communities of varying scale, looking in particular at globalization's various articulations in this region with diversity, inequality, and peace. By addressing the practice of globalization's cultural politics in social relations among men and women, ethnic communities and religious groups, political parties and classes, and nations themselves, we expect to understand better the conditions under which agents of change develop a sense of responsibility for, and engagement with, global transformations frequently perceived to be beyond anyone's control. The broader impacts of this research include the following. The planned workshop will facilitate development of a new network of social science collaboration around this subject by assembling scholars, especially younger but also some more senior scholars, and linking researchers across national boundaries and across cohorts. Beyond benefits to participants, it is hoped that on-line publicity preceding and following the workshop will help generate a new area of social scientific inquiry. The workshop's focus on globalization and culture will provide a different framework (beyond political economy) for policymakers and publics to think about how individuals and groups can shape the trajectories of global social change.

在试图影响社会变革进程的过程中，面临全球化的社区的价值观、身份和表现是如何形成的？这些文化政治如何影响不同阶层、群体和民族的命运？这些都是社会科学家在一个以中东欧（ECE）为重点的研讨会上要解决的问题。东欧是一个由于共产主义的终结、周边地区的战争以及加入北大西洋公约组织、欧盟和其他跨国组织而发生巨大变化的地区。来自美国和欧洲经委会的讲习班参与者将考虑如何在不同规模的不同社区中理解和代表全球化，特别是全球化在本区域的多样性、不平等与和平的各种表达。通过解决全球化的文化政治在男人和女人之间的社会关系，民族社区和宗教团体，政党和阶级，和国家本身的实践，我们希望更好地理解条件下，变革的代理人发展的责任感，并参与，全球转型经常被认为是超出任何人的控制。本研究的广泛影响包括以下几点。计划中的研讨会将通过聚集学者，特别是年轻的但也有一些更资深的学者，以及将跨越国界和跨群体的研究人员联系起来，促进围绕这一主题的社会科学合作的新网络的发展。除了对参与者的好处之外，希望研讨会前后的在线宣传将有助于产生一个新的社会科学探索领域。研讨会对全球化和文化的关注将为决策者和公众提供一个不同的框架（超越政治经济学），让他们思考个人和群体如何塑造全球社会变革的轨迹。
