British International Studies Association (BISA) South East Europe Working Group seeking new members‏

The British International Studies Association (BISA) South East Europe Working Group is looking for new members. Membership of the working group is open to academics, postgraduate students, practitioners and analysts based in institutions around the globe.

Established in 2002, the BISA Working Group on South East Europe (the post-communist Balkans, Greece, Turkey and Cyprus) aims to become a space for debate and research on issues related to the security, political, economic, justice and social transformation and reconstruction of the region. The Western Balkan dimension of the group particularly engages with external state-building processes following the conflicts in the 1990s, as well as issues related to the Europeanization, economic cooperation, soft security challenges and the place of the region in Europe's energy politics.

The aim of this working group is to strengthen the network of scholars working on the above mentioned issues and to initiate a dialogue with policy-makers and practitioners interested in South East Europe. Future activities of the working group include joint panels at international conferences, specialized workshops and joint publications.

Membership of the working group is free, however, membership of BISA (required for participation at the annual convention), is subscription-based.

If you would like to become a working group member, please email your name, affiliation and interests to j.obradovic-wochnik@aston.ac.uk
