After the vigorous engagement of the international community, which resulted in the Dayton Accord, the Royamont Initiative, the EU's Regional Approach, the SECI, &, finally, the Stability Pact, it seems that the likelihood of new challenges to security has been eliminated from Southeastern Europe. The involvement of a number of significant international factors, plus the presence of military forces in the Balkans (whether through SFOR, KFOR, or NATO), make it seem that any outbreak of larger conflicts is impossible, & some other forms of insecurity are almost totally under control. If the security of this region is to be compared to the situation in other parts of Europe, it can be said with certainty that the challenges to security will continue to have their local, as well as their universal, foundations. This will make the demands of the international community & local forces -- on the condition that they truly aspire toward EU membership -- much more dynamic & committed. Only by such systematic efforts will it be possible to create the necessary preconditions for the integration of Southeast Europe into Europe proper. Adapted from the source document.

Can we, by drawing on the experience of different independent initiatives and associations in southeastern Europe, draft and collate typical development and qualification strategies for periods of urban transformation and post-conflict situations, and apply them to similar urban situations elsewhere? The publication presents different approaches to this topic and answers the question with yes!

The countries of Southeast Europe have undergone a significant transition over the past decade. Helped by macroeconomic stabilization and efforts in advancing structural reforms, real GDP growth has picked up this century. Fiscal adjustment has been an integral part of the transition. Expenditure cuts have helped trim spending relative to GDP in most countries in the region and cut fiscal deficits everywhere except in Serbia. Progress in fiscal consolidation has been substantial, but in several of the countries the government??s presence in the economy remains oversized. Costs related to advan

AbstractThe movement of more than a million immigrants to Europe has challenged European policies on the issue and shacked the very foundations of the European Union. Immigrants are not a new phenomenon in Europe especially in the Balkans (South East Europe) examined. The immigrant crisis that erupted in 2015 and 2016 was unique in terms of the number of people, the conditions and the emergencies created. Increased terrorism in Europe and huge number of immigrant arrived Europe via South East Europe, and initiation of immigrant campaigns in Europe on social media helping to immigrants for arrive to central Europe the same time states actor responses towards immigrants crisis. The purpose of this research figure out responses states actors in South East Europe towards immigrant crisis and European Union deal with Turkey. The concept of the research is understanding impact of immigrant crisis between 2015-2016 years, when one of huge number of immigrants arrived Europe and responses states actors South East Europe. The research technique mainly relies on sources such as journal articles, newspaper articles, on-line sources, and research center reports which are related with the immigrant crisis in South East Europe (Balkans) and Turkey. EU and Turkey deal jammed up because of political issues between EU and South East European countries overburdened towards immigrant crisis. While increased immigrant deaths in Aegean Sea positive view regarding to immigrants, even though increased terrorist incidents in Europe started negative view to immigrants.Keywords: Greece, Immigrant Crisis, Refugee, Southeast Europe, Turkey AbstrakPergerakan lebih dari satu juta imigran ke Eropa telah menantang kebijakan Eropa mengenai isu imigran dan menggoyahkan landasan Uni Eropa yang telah mapan selama ini. Imigran bukan fenomena baru di Eropa terutama di Balkan (South East Europe). Krisis imigran yang meletus pada tahun 2015 dan 2016 sangat menarik pada aspek jumlah orang, kondisi dan keadaan darurat yang diciptakan. Meningkatnya terorisme di Eropa dan sejumlah besar imigran tiba di Eropa melalui Eropa Tenggara. Inisiasi kampanye imigran di Eropa melalui media sosial, membantu imigran untuk sampai ke Eropa Tengah pada saat yang sama menimbulkan krisis pada negara. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui tanggapan para aktor di Eropa Tenggara terhadap krisis imigran dan kesepakatan Uni Eropa dengan Turki. Konsep penelitian ini adalah pemahaman dampak krisis imigran antara tahun 2015-2016, ketika salah satu dari sejumlah besar imigran Eropa tiba, dan tanggapan negara aktor Eropa Tenggara. Teknik penelitian ini terutama mengandalkan sumber seperti artikel jurnal, artikel surat kabar, sumber daring, dan laporan pusat penelitian yang terkait dengan krisis imigran di Eropa Tenggara (Balkan) dan Turki. Kesepakatan Uni Eropa dan Turki macet karena adanya isu politik antara negara-negara Uni Eropa dan Eropa Tenggara yang terbebani krisis imigran. Sementara, insiden kematian imigran di Laut Aegea meningkatkan pandangan positif mengenai masalah imigran, meskipun meningkatnya insiden teroris di Eropa mulai menunjukkan pandangan negatif kepada masalah imigran.Kata kunci: Eropa Tenggara, Krisis Imigran, Pengungsi, Turki, Yunani

(1) Firmly positioning the US in this very important region of South East Europe, which has a long lasting value, especially considering the vicinity and the connections with neuralgic spots of American foreign relations activities (Middle East, the Caspian Basin, The Gulf, East Mediterranean). (2) Along with designing a new profile for Central Europe - by NATO enlargement and the creation of new security zones further to the East, and by calming down the situation in South East Europe - American policy has clearly presented itself as the leading power that can successfully operate on European soil, and by that, only reaffirm its leading role within the new model of the world order. (3) In its, not overly rich foreign policy, entering the area of South East Europe is perceived as the biggest success of Clinton's administration. (4) And if viewed pragmatically, the whole operation was not too expensive, which is of significant importance for American public opinion, and unlike in some other American military operations, there were no human casualties. (5) Clinton's administration will, most certainly, continue its engagement in this part of the world, and this will probably be continued by the next American President, if elected among the Democrats. But since a variety of American interests are involved in these matters, and already viewed as long-lasting and interconnected, it may be concluded that American policy has firmly established itself in South East Europe and that it will stay here, regardless of the future tenant in the White House. (SOI : PM: S. 89; 104) + American engagement in South East Europe, today, has all of its clearly stated diplomatic, political, military and economic instruments firmly set forth, with the intention to stay present in this area. Although these instruments are of different strength, volume and dynamics in different cases, they are transparent, and compared with the activities of the EU, for example, much stronger. This should, among other things, lead to the statement that it is a result of a wish for permanent activity in the area, which was not only directed towards ending the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, but a part of the plan to enter, and remain in the areas of South East Europe. Through such activities, Clinton's policy has succeeded in: + Following the disintegration of the socialist system in Europe and the end of the bloc-based relations, American politics has changed the course of its operation. In present-day circumstances southeast Europe is becoming increasingly prominent in American foreign-policy projections, particularly during Clinton's adnimistration. Clinton has defined a clearcut policy towards Europe's Southeast due to its vicinity to certain neuralgic points of American engagement (Near East, the Caspian region, the Gulf, eastern Mediterranean). In this way American politics has proved its leading global role. At the time of scarcity of foreign-policy events, Clinton's team has thus been served on a platter a major foreign-policy arena, in which its engagement - which has all the symptoms of a long-lasting one - has not proved too costly

Over the past three decades we have witnessed an evolution of the concept of security in general and of demographic security as a specific field of security studies. The approach to security has been changing both in regards to a widening of subjects and referent objects of security, and a widening of the security domain. Consideration of the demographic component in the security sphere has evolved in accordance with this development; the scope of perspectives through which demographic security is viewed and defined has expanded – the population composition, population dynamics and human capital paradigm. Aspects of demographics and security are in continuous interaction and interdependence which significantly determines demographic security and national security. The aim of this paper is to establish a specific link between demographic security and security in ten post-socialist countries of South Eastern Europe (SEE). In accordance with this aim, an analysis has been made of the compositional elements and population dynamics in order to determine demographic security of the observed states. The analysis indicates unfavourable demographic security, and negative demographic composition and dynamics in most of observed states, which suggests that demographic security will have a continuing negative impact on the security of the countries analysed and the region as a whole.

Die Theoriebildung zu den beiden Termini Identitäts- und Ethnomanagement legt das Fundament für dieses Werk und deren Akteursbezogenheit wiederum schlägt die Brücke zum empirischen Teil über die Deutschen und Ungarn im südöstlichen Europa. Kristallisationspunkte sind dabei die politischen und kulturellen Aktivitäten der Minderheitenvereine oder –selbstverwaltungen sowie die weiteren Vermittler und Instrumente wie die Minderheitenmedien, das Minderheitenschulwesen sowie die Minderheitenliteratur und –kunst. ; Der zeiltiche Fokus liegt vor allem auf der postsozialistischen Zeit ab 1989/90 bis etwa 2012; die räumliche Ausdehnung der Forschungen schliesst Ungarn (Herberge- Patronagestaat), Slowenien, Kroatien (Slawonien), Serbien (Vojvodina), und Rumänien (Siebenbürgen sowie Deutschland und Österreich als Patronagestaaten für die Deutschen mit ein.
