Re: Shkolla Vere/Summer Schools

The Anglo-Serbian Society is glad to announce that the Seventh International Summer School for Democracy, entitled "Globalisation, The European Union and the Western Balkans" will be held in Budva, in Serbia and Montenegro, from 29th August till 12th September.



Organisers

The School will be organised by:

1. The Centre for the Study of Democracy, University of Westminster,

2. The Luxembourg Institute for European and International Studies

3. The Anglo-Serbian Society, Belgrade and

4. The Association of Fulbright Alumni of Serbia and Montenegro



The Co-Directors of the School are: Prof. Vukasin Pavlovic, Faculty of Political Science, Belgrade and Prof. Margaret Blunden, Provost of the University of Westminster.



The School's Council is composed of two co-directors and additional four members: Prof. Vojislav Stanovcic, Corresponding member of the Serbian Academy, Dr. Armand Clesse, Director of the Luxembourg Institute for European and International Studies, Prof. Joseph Julian, Syracuse University, and Slobodan Markovich, Executive Director of the Summer School.



The Background of the Idea



The School was originally organised by the Faculty of Political Science of the University of Belgrade and the University of Westminster. This annual summer school has been organised since 1998. A group of professors from the Faculty of Political Science (FPS), University of Belgrade led by Prof. Vukasin Pavlovic, and The Centre for the Study of Democracy, University of Westminster, London (CSD), led by Prof. John Keane, established the International Summer School for Democracy, to be organised every year. The School was originally called The Yugoslav-British Summer School for Democracy, but was later re-named The International Summer School for Democracy. Due to the repressive Bill on Education enacted during the reign of former Yugoslav dictator Slobodan Milosevic, the School has been organised by the Anglo-Yugoslav Society and the Centre for the Study of Democracy since 1999. In 2004 the Anglo-Yugoslav Society has changed its name to the Anglo-Serbian Society.




This School was established after several years of successful academic co-operation between scholars from CSD and FPS. Results of the joint research project THE SUPPRESSED CIVIL SOCIETY (during 1994 and 1995), as well as joint meetings on CIVIL SOCIETY, WAR AND PEACE (London, February 1996), and UNIVERSITY, SOCIETY AND DEMOCRACY (Budva, March 1997) established that interest, willingness and capacities for joint efforts do exist to improve and develop co-operation in teaching and research processes in the field of political science with a special stress on problems of democracy and political and social changes. The International Summer School for Democracy is one of the very important forms of this co-operation.

The 1998 course was: DEMOCRACY AND SOCIAL CHANGE,

The 1999 course was: MODERNITY AND THE STATE - EAST, WEST (CIVIL SOCIETY AND GOOD GOVERNANCE),

The 2000 course was: THE DEMOCRATIC RECONSTRUCTION OF SOUTH-EASTERN EUROPE,

The 2001 course was: GOOD GOVERNANCE - GLOBALISM AND LOCALISM,

The 2002 course was: CONSOLIDATION OF NEW DEMOCRACIES

The 2003 course was: DEMOCRACY, GLOBALISATION AND SECURITY

The 2004 course is: GLOBALISTION, THE EUROPEAN UNION AND THE WESTERN BALKANS

The 2005 course will be: THE EUROPEAN UNION AND THE BALKANS

For data on the previous six summer schools one can find useful information at www.ays.org.yu.
