The aim of this course is to closely follow the often turbulent development of the Balkan region from the year 1989 until present days. The essence is to tackle various stereotypes and misinterpretations that are still hunting the Balkan region. Chronologically, the course will follow the fall of communist regimes in the region, Yugoslav wars, political transformation in Romania and Bulgaria, the commencement and progress of the integration process into the EU and also current political hindrances in the region. Apart from observing the political and international context of the last 20 years in the Balkans, it is necessary to understand the theoretical approaches and general context in which the region develops. Individual lectures will thus combine factual approach with theoretical one - political transformation, EU integration, populism, ethnicity/nationality (theories primordialism/constructivism/essentialism), national and territorial soverignty etc. The objective of this course is to enable the students to approach the Balkan affairs in its complexity, understanding as well as applying theoretical context on contemporary Balkan affairs.

With their basic understanding we may reveal the aims of the Balkan politicians during the different phases of transformation and their specifics to applying democratic standards. The aim is to closely analyse the process of transition to democracy in the former Yugoslavia, Romania and Bulgaria, that has started in the late 1980‘s and fully progressed into the beginning of 1990‘s.Presentation topic:Example of a "democratic transition" in practice (choose one Balkan country)Reading:Crawford Beverly.

Deriving from the experience of more complicated transitional period and wars in the western part of the peninsula, the European association process and relations to the EU have played an important role in their internal policies and constructing regional cooperation with varied success. This session aims at analyzing past experiences with these as a whole and their current implications.Presentation topic:Romania and Bulgaria: Premature accessions?EU with a "stick": Serbian accession policy after 2008Reading:Aneta Spendzarova, Milada Vachudova.

Nikola KarasováThe aim of the lecture is to present various theoretical approaches towards the issue of the far-right parties in the Balkans with emphasis on political analysis (party´s history, programme and ideology, strategies, organizational structure, public activities, electorate, coalition potential, real impact on country´s politics, etc.). Based on these a case study on Greece´s extremist political party, the Golden Dawn, will be introduced.Presentation topic:  Düsterwald Veronika MariaAnalysis of a far-right party in one of the Balkan countries after 1989 (for example Ataka (BG), Greater Romania Party (RON), Red and Black Alliance (AL), Obraz (RS), etc.)Reading:Stojarová, Věra. 2013.

It argues that populism is a political strategy to reduce the transaction costs of politics by increasing the use of informal political institutions, which have an association with "direct" and "immediate" action, and decreasing the use of formal political institutions, which have connotations of slow or non-action. Such approach allows for better understanding of voter behavior and voter support for populist parties, as well as the evolution of populist parties over time.Reading:https://drseansdiary.wordpress.com/2015/08/19/populism-europes-coat-of-many-colours/?utm_content=buffer9fe23&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer
