Europeanization of the Western Balkans
Start date: Sep 1, 2014, End date: Aug 31, 2017 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The purpose of this proposal is to establish the first ever Jean Monnet Module on the Europeanization process in the Western Balkans that will become the core of teaching and researching of the EU impact in the region connecting professors, young researchers and experts from the Balkans. This region is situated in the heart of the EU enlargement, for its troubled democratisation, unfinished economic transition and divided societies, and these issues are calling for greater attention and analysis. This Module’s aim is to establish interdisciplinary research on specialized issue of European Studies: economic, political, legal, institutional and social impact of the EU in the Western Balkans. This Module will enable students have the ability to communicate on European Union across disciplines.This Module will combine theoretical debates with empirical research of professors, decision-makers, experts, civil society institutions and students. It will be geographically-oriented subject (Albania, Croatia, Bosnia-Hercegovina, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia) with sector-oriented Europeanization issues (political parties, parliaments, governments, administration, rule of law and corruption, minority rights, education, youth, environment, energy etc.) with strong input of regional experts and academics. Events will enable vivid exchange between experts, students and general public. Cooperation of young researchers from the region with interest in the EU will be at the core of this Module. By bringing together experts from different background who collectively offer multi-disciplinary skill sets, it is possible to produce interdisciplinary Module far more superior to that which can be offered by just one discipline alone. Having specialization, but also having interdisciplinary training and cross-sectoral research is significant added value. This value applies to all activities, teaching, events (debates, workshops, conferences), research and deliverables.
