With focus on how the neighbourhoods have changed over time, particularly in Turkey and Italy, our table aims to deepen various aspects regarding neighbourhood at times of conflicts. Considering neighboring religious, cultural or political communities, we would like to make the following questions the starting point for further discussions:Are persistent (violent) conflicts specially triggers forchanges in neighbourhood relations? Who are the actors of these conflicts and in which sectors or areas do relationships change prevalently?How are cooperation or solidarity networks affected by the conflicts? Is it possible to talk about new cooperation or solidarity networksin the neighbourhoods at times of conflicts?What do the changing dynamics in the neighbourhoods tell about the transformations in the societal level? (national, international orregional, transregional dynamics of transformation like war, migration, etc.)Does the knowledge of past “neighbourhoods in times of conflict” help to understand our present time?Derya Özkaya is a doctoral researcher at the Otto Suhr Institute of Political Science at Freie Universität Berlin.
