> ABOUT THE PROGRAMME
> 
> The South East European Studies Programme was
> established in 2002 at 
> the European Studies Centre, St Antony's College. It
> focuses on the 
> study of contemporary political and socio-economic
> dynamics in the 
> region, including the post-communist Balkan
> countries, Greece, Turkey 
> and Cyprus, the region's relationship with the EU,
> as well as the 
> relations between the countries themselves. 
> 
> Through its activities and research output, the
> programme seeks to 
> foster academic analysis on current events and to
> come up with policy-
> relevant prescriptions. By bringing together
> academics, policy makers 
> and students, it aims to support the debate on
> transition, 
> reconstruction, development, conflict resolution and
> European 
> integration and to promote mutual knowledge and
> understanding in 
> areas of tension and conflict. 
> 
> The programme, which has been initially funded by
> the Greek Ministry 
> of Foreign Affairs, is seeking other sponsors.

> transition and 
> European integration processes. This will be done
> through the 
> organisation of expert meetings, events, the

> discussion and action papers in the website and
> cooperation with 
> relevant research networks. The output of these
> activities will be 
> disseminated widely across a wide range of actors in
> the academic, 
> policy making, media and NGO communities.
> 
> The Greek-Turkish Pillar: The programme in
> cooperation with the 
> Middle East Centre at St Antony's College aims to
> bring together 
> academics and experts on Greek and Turkish politics,
> economics and 
> society in order to reflect on domestic and
> international 
> contemporary developments relevant to both
> countries. It will involve 
> joint debates, the publication of a newsletter and
> the organisation 
> of public lectures and conferences. The programme
> will link with 
> existing similar networks dealing with relevant
> matters. The 
> programme's output will be disseminated to a variety
> of potential end-
> used in the public and private sectors.
