These added to the landscape formed already by the NATO, the EU, the OSCE, the Council of Europe, etc.Such a &#171;&#160;proliferation&#160;&#187; of regional (and almost pan-regional) frameworks for cooperation should create a strong incentive to facilitate &#171;&#160;exchanges&#160;&#187; across borders.Regional construction tends to modify the nature of borders, from absolute sovereign lines of division to logistical transport passage-points, controlled but open, sensitive but necessary.The Conference will diversify the approach of CROSS-BORDER EXCHANGES&#160;: Eurasian perspectives on logistics and diplomacy into the four sub-sessions detailed in the preliminary programme, focusing on 1) political, 2) economic, 3) cultural and 4) security issues.ProgrammeThursday 14th June 20189h-9h30 : registration of participants9h30-10h : opening ceremony, welcoming addresses by AUCA Vice-Rector Ch.
