Political, Social and Legal Studies

The Political, Social and Legal Studies within the Balkan Research Center aims to raise awareness of strategically important issues and the dynamics of development of political, legal, social and educational phenomena in the Balkan countries, to research them, to develop models for their development and fit them into appropriate policies.

Our team is building a conceptual and methodological apparatus for systematic observation, impartial and in-depth analysis of developments in politics, law, social development and education in the Balkans. Our analyzes will be dedicated to the thematic units covered by the department. They refer to individual Balkan countries, to a group of Balkan countries, and to the Balkans as a whole.

Each of the Balkan societies has its own authentic dynamics of development, its own problems, challenges, advantages and weaknesses. The trends in each of the countries sometimes overlap, but there are also times when they contradict each other. Our analysis will contribute to a greater understanding of the specifics of the Balkan societies, their internal structure, mutual interactions, which together will lead to the expansion of the perspective from which the Balkans are viewed
