CESCAME invites you to an exciting series of three guest lectures on urban practices and politics. In the last lecture, Lela Rekhiashvili will show how marketisation produces new forms of urban informality, criticising interpretations of informality as a product of ‘deficiencies’ in Central and East European and Eurasian transition.

Recent studies highlight the importance of creating a more gender-sensitive entrepreneurship culture, including awareness raising campaigns, role models and developments in the education system (OECD, 2021). Focusing on three very different cultural contexts of Iran, India and France, this round table session aims to explore the impact of gendered cultural and institutional contexts on how women entrepreneurs start and operate their businesses. It will offer recommendations for policy makers and those involved in supporting women entrepreneurs.

CESCAME invites you to a series of three guest lectures on the city, sustainability, urban practices and politics, everydayness and informality and their potential for social change.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, democracy worldwide continued to deteriorate. As established and new democracies faced unprecedented challenges to public health and the economy, their democratic quality declined. While established democracies could largely prevent pandemic erosion of democratic quality, democracies in transitions could not. Pandemic is an opportunity for executive aggrandizement –strengthening governments, weakening parliaments, and testing the judiciary.
