The 12th South-East European Summer School for Democracy:
'Impact of Global Crisis on Stability and Security in the Balkans'
Sunday 13 - Friday 18 September 2009
Belgrade, Serbia
Dr Spyros Economides and Dr James Ker-Lindsay lectured at the 12th South-East European Summer School for Democracy in Belgrade.
The Summer School, co-organised by the Anglo Serbian Society and the LSE's Hellenic Observatory and supported by the British Embassy and the European Fund for the Balkans, was attended by 30 junior faculty members, young political activists and NGO sector employees from Serbia and across South Eastern Europe.
The main goal of the Summer School is to develop the skills of young scholars and potential future leaders in modern democratic theory and also to foster academic links between Western and South East European Universities.
This year's theme, "The Impact of the Economic Crisis on Stability and Security in the Balkans", also gave the lecturers the opportunity to discuss the global impact of the economic crisis, the level of democratisation in SEE countries and their prospects for Euro-Atlantic integration. Other participants included Professor Christopher Coker, also of the LSE, Dr Slobodan Markovich, of the University of Belgrade and Ivan Vejvoda, of the Balkan Trust for Democracy.
