Trust Conference BSA 2021 Call for papers 001The regional conference „Trust and Well-Being in the Balkans” is organized by the Bulgarian Sociological Association between 30 September – 01 October 2021, Sofia, Bulgaria, in collaboration with the national sociological associations of Romania, Serbia and Northern Macedonia, and with the support of the International Sociological Association.

The Balkans region presents a complex picture of similarities and differences, intertwining histories and projects for the future, that challenge us to use the resources of comparative data and findings to outline new research approaches and sociological understandings of the region. This is why the main goal of the conference is to provide a forum for comparative analysis, based on the data and findings of the European Social Survey (ESS) across the Balkan countries and beyond. As an academically initiated, cross-national study, which is conducted every two years since 2001, the ESS offers rich and reliable data to fulfil this goal. ESS data show that there is a connection between trust in institutions, the legitimacy of democracy and a personal sense of well-being. It is in this perspective that the analysis of problems with comparative data from the Balkans and other European regions could open possibilities for the development of important theoretical accounts; for better understanding of the processes of democracy building in this region (each country faces specific challenges); for the formulation of more effective public policies. In this sense, the conference aims to hold a high-level academic and research forum, but at the same time to retain the aim of public sociology, i.e. to participate in the formulation of public policies. The issue of the relationship between trust and well-being is interesting not only in the Balkans perspective. Contemporary societies – which we often describe as „individualized”, „fragmented” and „accelerated” appear to be at risk of losing the secret of social bonding. That is why we would like the conference to put in focus not only regional, but also global problems in order to propose theoretical interpretations and new approaches through which social trust and well-being can be examined. Beyond its academic and research goals, the conference will also contribute to strengthening the regional research network that has been collaborating at different intensity over the last decade and expand and orient it towards joint sociological research in order to guarantee its sustainability through collaboration.

Community Policy Analysis within the COVID-19 Pandemic Context

Faced with the magnitude of an unprecedented epidemiological crisis such as the one generated by the propagation of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, public administrations at various levels (national, regional, local etc.) have adopted different policies to try and prevent the virus from spreading, while taking care of the residents’ health. However, the social impact of such measures on the communities has not yet been properly studied, which leaves an open question mark on the effectiveness of the measures. In 2020, ‘lockdown’, ‘quarantine’, or ‘immunization’ have become keywords in public administration decisions. Nevertheless, these factors have been designed and applied differently across regions. One year after the start of the COVID-19 public health crisis, can some of these measures be identified as ‘best practices’ in order to be replicated in less fortunate communities as well? Do the policies maintain their validity even if applied to different social communities? Where and how do differences in public policy adoption appear between communities? How do these inter-communitarian differences manifest and what is their social impact? Many governmental decisions did not do anything else than to copy measures already taken in other parts of the world. Is this policy transposition effective or would it be more appropriate to take into account the specifics of local communities? How are local or residential communities impacted by the governmental policies and how do they respond to them?
