Been wondering what is going on Italy? Yet another government and crisis? ESAANZ is organising a seminar to discuss what it means to have a Mario Draghi lead “grand coalition” and “technical” government in Italy.
About this EventThe collapse of the 5 Star-Democratic Party government coalition caused by the withdrawal of support from Matteo Renzi’s party prompted the resignation of Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte. It brought to the fore the question of fresh elections and it was the Italian President, Sergio Mattarella, who wanted to avoid going to the polls that he sought out a prime candidate to govern Italy....
This two-day professional development interactive seminar is for secondary school teachers.
The '2021 EU Summer School for Secondary School Teachers' will review recent developments in the European Union (EU), and link these issues with learning and teaching activities in Australia.

The European Studies Association Australia and New Zealand (ESAANZ) is proud to announce their conference for 2020, running from the 1st – 3rd of December 2020.
By whatever yardstick one wishes to apply, 2020 has been a bumpy year. The COVID-19 pandemic has dominated international and national conversations, in Europe as elsewhere. Many other plans for the year have had to go on hold as political, economic and institutional actors have turned their focus to managing the pandemic and its health, welfare, economic and indeed sociocultural impacts.
Times of turbulence and change in Europe are not restricted to the impacts of the...
ESAANZ invites you to this event, with presenter Professor Leslie Holmes, on revolutions in Belarus and other post-soviet nations.
In 1993, Charles Tilly published his analysis of European Revolutions 1492-1992. In that, he drew a useful distinction between revolutionary situations and revolutionary outcomes. Clearly, Belarus has in late-2020 been in a revolutionary situation. But will this turn into a revolutionary outcome, and thus overthrow the man often called ‘Europe’s last dictator’?
Do comparisons with so-called colour revolutions in Georgia (2003-4), Ukraine (2004-5; 2014), Kyrgyzstan (2005; 2010) and Armenia (2018) help us better to understand what is currently happening in Belarus? How do...

REPORTING OF THE EU IN AUSTRALIA

What sources have the Australian media used for reporting on these issues? How have they presented the EU?
This online event seeks to bring the understanding of the...
