COUNTRY REPORTS
The SEEIIA is going to issue a series of country reports on south east European countries. The reports will cover issues of domestic governance (qualitative parametres of democracy, the rule of law, meritocracy, transparency, clientelism, party politics, the media, corruption) and foreign policy issues (inter-Balkan relations, foreign relations, comparative politics, transition issues, EU enlargement and NATO expansion).
The first report has already been publicized (February 2004, ISBN: 960-90863-2-2) and focuses on Greece. The next reports will focus on Bulgaria, Serbia-Montenegro and Romania.
The SEEIIA would like to thank all our colleagues, associates and members who are currently working on the reports.
