Dennis McConnell, who frequently posts messages to CivilSoc,
would like to invite interested CivilSoc members to join a list
he manages, CEEMAN-L.

CEEMAN-L Internet List
*****************************************************************
CEEMAN-L is an internet discussion list sponsored by the Central
and East European Management Development Association (CEEMAN),
located in Slovenia. The CEEMAN-L list currently has about 390
members in 32 countries. A significant majority of members are
representatives of business schools/economics programs in the
CEE/NIS regions (Baltics, Central/Eastern Europe, Central Asia,
and Russia) and the U.S. The list also includes representatives
in the CEE/NIS regions from organizations such as the Interna-
tional Research and Exchanges Board (IREX) and the Soros Founda-
tion, NGOs in both the U.S. and the CEE/NIS regions, and Peace
Corps volunteers in the CEE/NIS regions.
The primary purpose of CEEMAN-L is to provide information to
academics in CEE/NIS business schools/economic programs who have
been isolated from information sources for many years. The list
serves more as a bulletin board than as a traditional internet
discussion list. The list is "moderated" - which means that all
messages to members of the list are first screened by the list
manager - a feature which protects the e-mail budgets of list
members who must pay fees to receive e-mail at some CEE/NIS
sites.
As the list manager, I monitor a large number of internet lists
to learn of new publications and information resources, confer-
ences, publishing and consulting opportunities, funding programs
and academic exchange programs. Any information that would seem
to be of interest to CEE/NIS members is posted to CEEMAN-L. Some
of the information may be useful and/or interesting to list
members in other regions. But the primary purpose is to serve the
information needs of CEE/NIS list members.
The secondary purpose of CEEMAN-L is to link CEE/NIS business
schools/economics programs with similar programs in the U.S. and
other regions. At the moment, we have well over 100 U.S. academic
sites on the list. Exactly how that linkage function will operate
in the coming months is not entirely clear at the moment. Howev-
er, as the list expands, my hope is that individual list members
will initially identify interesting academic links through the
list, and subsequently cooperate/communicate directly rather
through the list.
Representatives of business schools/economics programs in the
CEE/NIS regions can be added to the list by sending a message
directly to my e-mail address ([email protected]). It would be
helpful if the message included full name, e-mail address, insti-
tutional affiliation, postal address, and academic interests.
