Description

Organisers' description :

The Tenth Berlin Roundtables on Transnationality were held in Berlin from 18 - 23 March 2009 on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the Social Science Research Center Berlin (WZB). The Roundtables addressed the chances and challenges that the “new urban age” entails. With particular focus on different forms of innovative urban potential, on security governance, and on the power and influence of religion, discussions centered around current developments and governance strategies found in large urban agglomerations unprecedented in size and growing at an accelerated pace.
