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.

面对全球化的社区的价值观、身份和代表性是如何通过影响社会变革进程的尝试而形成的，这些文化政治又如何影响不同阶层、群体和人民的命运？ 这些是社会科学家在一次以东中欧为重点的研讨会上要解决的问题，该地区因共产主义的终结、周边的战争以及加入北大西洋公约组织、欧盟而引发了巨大的变化。和其他跨国组织。来自美国和欧洲经委会的研讨会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，特别关注全球化在该地区的多样性、不平等与和平方面的各种表现。通过探讨全球化文化政治在男性和女性、民族社区和宗教团体、政党和阶级以及国家本身之间的社会关系中的实践，我们期望更好地理解变革推动者在何种条件下产生责任感，全球变革常常被认为是任何人都无法控制的。 这项研究的更广泛影响包括以下内容。 计划中的研讨会将通过聚集学者，特别是年轻学者，也包括一些资深学者，并将跨国界和跨群体的研究人员联系起来，促进围绕这一主题建立一个新的社会科学合作网络。除了给参与者带来好处之外，我们还希望研讨会前后的在线宣传将有助于开辟社会科学探究的新领域。研讨会对全球化和文化的关注将为政策制定者和公众提供一个不同的框架（政治经济学之外），以思考个人和群体如何塑造全球社会变革的轨迹。
