C. Br\u0103tianu\u201d International Relations Amphitheater of Titu Maiorescu University (Building M, 2nd floor, 189 Calea V\u0103c\u0103re\u0219ti, Sector 4, Bucharest).<\/p>\n<p>The symposium is organized on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin Wall (November 9, 1989), an event of fundamental political importance with symbolic significance in the process of the collapse of communist regimes in Europe. From its construction (begun on August 13, 1961) as a border between East Berlin and West Berlin, for almost 30 years, the Wall constituted <strong>a political, ideological, administrative, and military border between the two Germanys<\/strong>, divided in the aftermath of World War II, <strong>a dividing line between the free world and Eastern Europe<\/strong>. Erected to stop the emigration of citizens from East Berlin to West Berlin, the Wall became, politically and symbolically <strong>a barrier to the aspiration for freedom, a symbol of oppression and dehumanization<\/strong>. Alongside the metaphorical border of the Iron Curtain, which divided Europe in two, the Berlin Wall imposed itself in the post-war decades, on the one hand, as <strong>a concrete reality, a militarized edifice, surrounded by barbed wire<\/strong>, on the other hand, as <strong>A symbol of the Cold War and Communism<\/strong>, meaning <strong>the cancellation of freedom and human rights, <\/strong>CA<strong> an iconic image of totalitarianism<\/strong>. The demolition of the Berlin Wall, amidst the processes of disintegration of communism from within, symbolized <strong>the collapse of an ideology, the downfall of the totalitarian system,<\/strong> <strong>based on force and terror, the end of one world and the beginning of another<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Scientific Symposium \u201eThe Fall of the Wall - The Beginning of the End\u201d<\/strong> aims to analyze the historical context of the event of November 9, 1989, the preceding moments that led to it and which, in a short time, led to the collapse of communist regimes, the political, social, and historical meanings and implications of the dismantling of the border symbolized by the Wall, the subsequent events in Europe, and the developments in the extensive process of returning to freedom, democracy, the values of the rule of law, dignity and normality, and fundamental human rights and freedoms. The symposium will thus constitute <strong>a framework of qualified interventions, dialogue, and exchange of ideas <\/strong>on a fundamental theme of the contemporary world, an event that marked the existence of Europe and led to profound changes within the states of the former Communist Bloc and the entire Continent.<\/p>\n<p>The symposium will be attended by academicians, political scientists, sociologists, experts in political science and international relations, public figures, members of the academic staff and researchers, cultural figures, and students. The papers presented at the Symposium and the International Conference dedicated to the three decades since the fall of communism, organized by Titu Maiorescu University and scheduled to take place on December 5, 2019, will be included in a volume published under the auspices of the University.
