IR/PO 360 INTEGRATIVE SEMINAR: SHATTERED DREAMS IN EUROPE’S TROUBLED BORDERLANDS? EASTERN AND SOUTHEASTERN EUROPEAN CULTURES AND SOCIETIES BETWEEN CONFLICT AND RECONCILIATION

IES Abroad European Union DESCRIPTION: The borderlands of Europe are at a cross-roads. From the end of the Cold War up until today, the European Union has served as an anchor and also as a magnet. Southeastern and Eastern Europe embraced Western liberal democracy as the ‘final form of human government,’ and the EU offered a fast-track to this form of government by providing models for new policies and institutions, as well as deep political engagement, trade, investment and financial aid. However, with the EU turning in on itself, and a newly assertive Russia resurgent, the time is ripe for a re-evaluation of the historical trajectories of the countries of Southeastern and Eastern Europe, including the Russian Federation itself. It is becoming apparent that renewed geopolitical flexibility after the end of the Cold War is leading to a diversification in which actors and societies adopt different strategies and follow sometimes conflicting trajectories. The EU’s transformative power is increasingly conditioned by a combination of endogenous as well as exogenous factors. A geographic focus on the Western Balkan region and the European parts of the former Soviet Union allows, firstly, for a comparative analysis of the continued attractiveness of the EU as a model of integration and as an external incentive structure for those actors pushing for domestic reforms in Europe’s periphery. Secondly, this seminar will examine how domestic processes of political change, economic modernization, civil society formation and identity construction, as well as old and new geopolitical conflicts interact in complex ways. Finally, the seminar will cover the interlocking social and political challenges that have faced the Russian Federation in recent decades, thus allowing for an evaluation of the challenges Russia poses for the EU and the US, and the potential for mutually beneficial cooperation. The course is co-taught by two experts in the field, one who has published on EU influences in post-war Bosnia-Herzegovina, and another who has lived and worked in Ukraine and the Russian Federation, and who has published widely on the Russian Empire and the interaction between Russia and the Balkans today.

3. Yugoslavia – A Socialist Experiment between East and West?

Defying Stalin and his model of communism, Tito’s Yugoslavia developed a unique kind of socialism that combined one-party rule with an economic system of workers’ self-management. This class will highlight the central place of ideology in Yugoslav politics. The progressive decentralization of Yugoslavia, for instance, was less motivated by reasons of ethnic politics than by Marxist beliefs that the state should be decentralized until it was finally replaced by a self-managing society.

III. Bosnia and Serbia – Political and Social Reconstruction, Multiple Identities and Conflicting Narratives of the Past in Europe’s Southeastern Borderlands

5. Post-War Bosnia: Ethnicity, Inequality and Governance This class introduces the political system of Bosnia and Herzegovina as defined by its current constitution.

More than twenty years after the end of the war in Bosnia, ethnicity continues to matter and the country remains dependent on international supervision. The Dayton Peace Accord signed in 1995 successfully ended the war, but froze the ethnic conflict in one of the most complex systems of government in the world. This class will undertake an in-depth analysis of governance in this divided post-war country.

During the course-related excursion, students will meet representatives of the respective ethnic groups.

6. International Administration and the Rule of Law

Required Reading:

Since the mid-1990s the United Nations and other multilateral organizations have been entrusted with exceptional authority for the administration of war-torn territories. In Bosnia & Herzegovina and Kosovo, these organizations have assumed responsibility for governance to a degree unprecedented in recent history. This class will examine the nature of these operations, their mandates, structures, and powers. We will also analyze and assess the effectiveness of international administration in Bosnia and Kosovo.

During their course-related excursion, students will meet representatives of relevant EU and other relevant institutions.

9. Prosecuting War Crimes: Conflicting Meanings of Justice and Narratives of Denial

This class examines the impact of the ICTY in Bosnia and Serbia. The Hague Tribunal is one of the rare institutions which embodies moral values, though it remains distant for most citizens in former Yugoslavia, addressing only a small fraction of post-war injustices. Focusing on some victim associations we will analyze to which degree their concepts of justice do (not) overlap with those put forth by ICTY promoters. On their course-related trip, students will meet speakers, active in the field of analyzing and overcoming the war crimes.

22. European solutions? Eastern Europe and the Baltics

The Baltic States were a constituent part of the USSR. Yet they have not only attained independence but also membership of an enlarged NATO and the EU. Significant Russian language minorities and geography ensure continued ties to Russia itself. How can the Baltics take advantage of these characteristics? And should an expanded NATO/EU increase Russians anxiety over their country’s security?

23. Course-related trip reflection

24. Conclusion: borders and bridges revisited

Post-communism is now past, but the countries of the region still need to come to terms with their geostrategic positions and potentials. How can Russia, the US and the EU seek out areas where they can maximize cooperation for mutual benefit? And what will be the effect of developments in EU-Russian relations on the border countries in-between the two?

25. Final Exam

COURSE-RELATED TRIPS: Western Balkans - Bosnia-Herzegovina & Serbia This trip first focuses on Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia-Herzegovina (BiH), and on one of its two political entities, the Federation of BiH. Due to its long history of religious and cultural diversity Sarajevo has been called the “Jerusalem of the Balkans.” This has, however, changed with the Bosnian War (1992 – 1995), the most devastating conflict in Europe since World War II, which resulted in the displacement of about 2.2 million people. In spite of the still visible marks of war, Sarajevo is today a vibrant town, selected as “European Capital of Culture” in 2014. In Sarajevo, students will experience the far-reaching consequences of the war, but also learn about the attempts to overcome ethnic divides between Muslim Bosniaks, Bosnian Serbs, Bosnian Croats and others, and about BiH’s prospect of future EU membership. Students will meet representatives of diverse ethnic groups and also with EU, OSCE and other officials. You will also travel to and through the Republika Srpska, the second political entity of BiH, where 90 percent of the today’s population is Serb. There, students will spend time at the Srebrenica-Potocari genocide memorial and cemetery. It is a space set up for prayer and remembrance, and serves as a final resting place for many of the more than 8.000 Bosnian men and teenage boys who were executed by the Bosnian Serb Army . The trip will end in Belgrade, the buzzling capital of Serbia, which is located at the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers. A strategic fortress has not prevented frequent conquests, which have given the city its bustling old quarter – Roman, Turkish, Austrian and Yugoslav Communist influences overlapping – and its unique character. Though at the heart of the Balkans, there are a number of obstacles preventing Serbia from attaining full membership in the EU. Challenges include coming to terms with the Yugoslav wars, the fragility of its democracy, and the question of recognition of Kosovo.

https://www.opendemocracy.net/od-russia/ivan-krastev/would-democratic-change-in-russia-transform-its-foreign-policy




In addition, students will learn about Russian and Chinese influences, and the ways in which close relations with these countries impact upon Serbia’s EU integration perspectives. Trip length: +/-7 days Russia & Baltics This trip focuses on the Russian Federation and either Latvia or Estonia. The aim is to gain a fuller understanding of EU-Russian relations and of the complex factors that have shaped Russian politics and society in recent decades – including Russia’s transition from Soviet Communism and its sometimes difficult relations with its neighbors. Students will first visit Moscow, the capital and heart of the largest country on earth, where they will meet with experts in order to get first-hand knowledge of Russia under Putin, the conflict with Ukraine, sanctions and the Russian economy, the role of mass media, the role of cyberspace in US-Russian relations, and the question of human rights. In addition, the IES EU group may have the chance to meet and engage with Russian students. From Moscow we will travel to St. Petersburg, the capital of Imperial Russia, epicenter of the Russian Revolution, Vladimir Putin’s hometown, and even today Russia’s cultural capital. There, students will explore the forces that led to Revolution, Russia’s imperial heritage, and the ongoing discussion of Russia’s identification with an imagined West and/or East. The last stop on this trip will be either Riga or Tallinn, the capitals of Latvia and Estonia. Both were incorporated into the Soviet Union during the Second World War. Following the collapse of the USSR both gained independence in 1991. They became EU and NATO member states in 2004. These countries have undergone an impressive and rapid political and economic transition driven by a desire for security and mistrust of their former occupier. Also, both countries have inherited large Russian minorities, posing social and political challenges for the future. In either Riga or Tallinn, students will examine inter-ethnic relations, political and security dilemmas, and EU-Russia relations from a Baltic perspective.
