OPENING OF THE
SECOND EDITION OF THE MA DEGREE PROGRAM IN
GOVERNANCE AND POLICIES OF EUROPEAN
INTEGRATION IN SOUTH EAST EUROPE
Academic Year 2002-2003
After the positive experience of the first edition, the MA Program in
“Governance and Politics of European Integration in South East Europe” has
begun its activities for the academic year 2002-2003.
The process of selection for this new edition of the Master’s Program was
difficult due to the fact that the number of applicants was very high (198) with
regard to the number of places available (37). Thanks to the Italian Ministry of
Foreign Affairs, Direzione Cooperazione per lo Sviluppo, 25 out of the 37
students admitted to the Master’s Program will be granted a full scholarship so
as to cover their tuition fee and living expenses.
Selected students, coming from 19 different countries (Albania, BosniaHerzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Georgia, Great
Britain, Hungary, Italy, Macedonia, Moldova, Poland, Romania, Russian
Federation, Slovakia, Slovenia, Ukraine, and Yugoslav Federation) arrived in
Forlì, Italy, on 18th-19th November. They were hosted in a student dormitory
where they had the possibility to socialise and receive information about each
other’s country and culture.
From 20th to 27th November the students followed an orientation week,
prepared by the program coordinator, Dott.sa Federica Baroncini, and the
tutor of the program, Dott. Fabio Zuccheri, which helped them to become
acquainted with the city of Forlì and the Italian academic system.
The scientific director of the Master’s Program, Prof. Stefano Bianchini,
declared it open on 28th November during the official ceremony. The
Ceremony took place in Palazzo Mangelli (Forlì), Sala Gandolfi, and was
attended by the Pro-Rector of the University of Bologna, Prof. Roberto
Grandi, and other prominent members of the academic community and of the
municipality.
The Master’s Degree Program
The activities will last one year and will be divided into three parts. In the
first part students shall attend classes and seminars conducted by professors of
the University of Bologna and other EU experts. The Master’s courses will
provide students with the necessary knowledge regarding various aspects of
the EU and of the process of integration, covering the legal, economic and
political spheres.
In detail, the list of the courses is as follows:
1- Italian Language, 100 hrs, 8 credits (the students will be divided into two
groups: beginners and intermediate)
2- EU Institutions, 30 hrs, 6 credits
3- European Political and Financial Economy, 30 hrs, 6 credits
4- Introduction to Data Analysis, 10 hrs, 2 credits

Administration, 30 hrs, 6 credits
6- Politics of Transition and European Integration, 30 hrs, 6 credits
7- EU Policies II - Industrial, Agricultural, Social and Environmental Policy,
30 hrs, 6 credits
8- EU Economic Integration, 30 hrs, 6 credits
9- EU Law 30 hrs, 6 credits
The teaching-staff consists of the following professors:
Simona Berardi, Elisabetta Bergamini, Stefano Bianchini, Federica Bicchi, Jean
Blondel, Ljudmila Buglakova, Sandro Gozi, Monika Kaminska, Hubert Kempf,
Michael Leigh, Luciano Messori, Silvia Piana, Francesco Privitera, Riccardo
Rovelli, Teresa Quarta, Roberto Schiano, Lorenza Sebesta, Andrea Segrè,
Stefano Sannino, Gabriele Tondel, Paolo Zurla.
In the second part, students shall serve an Internship of 300 hours in
public administration – central or local-, ministries, NGO’s, international
organisations, foundations, non-profit organizations, private institutions or
companies that deal with South East Europe.
The writing of a dissertation related to the topics studied in the courses
and its oral defence before an examining board will constitute the last part of
the program.
The MA Program’s professors and staff are ready to make every possible
effort in order to once again enjoy a fruitful year with the new generation of
students, with the aim to continue to form professionals in the field of
European integration in South East Europe.
TRAINING IN FOREIGN POLICY AND MANAGEMENT
FOR DIPLOMATS FROM THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN
EUROPE
Cervia - 30th September /18th October
Roma - 19th October / 26th October
Caserta - 27th October / 1st November
The third edition of the “Training in Foreign Policy and Management” opened
on September 30th and continued for the entire month of October till it met its
physical end on November 1st. We like to refer to the “physical end”, which is
temporarily defined, since the contacts that have been established will continue
and hopefully even be intensified in the framework of the Italian and
European institutional organisations.
Like in the previous editions, the Training was sponsored and organised by the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the University of Bologna, the Institute for Central
and Eastern Europe and the Balkans, in cooperation with the Centro Italiano
Studi per la Conciliazione Internazionale and -for the first time since the birth of
this event- the Scuola Superiore per la Pubblica Amministrazione di Caserta.
All the CEI (Central European Initiative) Countries did participate in the
Training, with the extra involvement of Estonia. That means the following
States: Albania, Belarus, Bosnia Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Estonia,
Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, Federal Republic of Yugoslavia/Montenegro,
FYROM, Poland, Czech Republic, Romania, Slovakia, Ukraine, and Hungary,
for a total of 41 trainees.
The topics of the Training
The Training is addressed to young Diplomats from Eastern European
Countries, including the Balkan region, and seeks to provide a general view of
European Union policies and aims, of the definining process of foreign
policies, of security and defence policies and the evolution in the tasks of
Diplomats within a unified Europe, including the concept of sovereignty and
its role within International Politics, as well as an overview on human rights
and institutions that foster democratisation. So a great variety of topics has
been covered by the Training, arousing different levels of interest in the
participants, who have different academic backgrounds.
The Training is divided into two theoretical sessions plus a field visits session
taking place in three different locations, so as to give concrete substance to the
contents examined in the lectures and debates of the theoretical phase.
Field visits: Cervia, Rome and Caserta
The three weeks spent in Cervia scrutinized the European Union policies,
starting from the historical perspective to the future possibilities, going
through the current situation and concerns. Furthermore, debates were held on
the macroeconomics aspects of the EEC process of integration into the
European Union, with special reference to the admission criteria and economic
conditions in the perspective of sustainable development. As it appears from
the programme, the lectures were held by university professors, ambassadors
and ministries of the MFA, as well as by politicians.
During the Training in Cervia, special attention was devoted to negotiation
techniques and to the acquisition or improvement of negotiation skills, not
only during the one and a half day exercise with Ambassador V.A. Farinelli,
but also through the workshop with tutors. The latter consisted in the
simulation of a negotiation between two sides in the framework of made-up
cases of potential international relevance. The three cases were namely the
Accession of Israel to the EU, the enlargement of the OSCE Mission in
Tajikistan, and the Polish accession to the CAP. The simulation consisted in
several sessions of discussion and the production of a final paper for each case
defining the original positions, the progress and the eventual achievement or
failure of the agreement. Obviously, as in a real negotiation process, meeting
minutes and press statements were also included.
The above outlined operational approach found in the Rome session its
practical complement through the visits to the most important locations of
Italian and international foreign policy: MFA (Crises Unit and Treaties and
Diplomatic Legal Office); Diplomatic Institute; Italian Institute of Foreign
Trade; Presidency of the Republic; Parliament; Vatican; FAO and
UNIDROIT. Especially motivating was the brunch at the MFA, where the
Diplomats had the chance to meet with their Italian colleagues and to build up
useful contacts among the diverse institutions and countries that the Diplomats
represented.
The third and last session of the course was hosted in the magnificent Reggia
di Caserta, at the Scuola Superiore per la Pubblica Amministrazione. The topics and
discussions focused on the role of the Italian regions in Italian foreign policy,
on the regional and local law within the question of regional and local
international activities, providing useful parallels between the Italian regional
asset and the Eastern European Regions.
Not only training
Finally few important words need to be spent on the logistic and free time
activities. In fact, thanks to the distribution of the Training in Northern,
Central and Southern Italy, the Diplomats had the chance to experience, enjoy
and get to know the respective hospitality, affability and habits, the taste of
Italian choice cuisine included! The Training also had a tourist aspect, with
several trips and visits to important cities and towns: Venice and Florence, as
well as Pompei and Naples and the beautiful medieval village of
Casertavecchia.
A Satisfaction Questionnaire prepared by the tutors has been distributed to the
Diplomats at the end of the Training, in order to provide essential feedback to
the organisers and help them identify both strengths and possible
improvements for the next Training.
COLLOQUE INTERNATIONAL
Conflits, confiance, démocratie
Sofia, 5 – 7 septembre 2003
We gladly publish on request the following communication from:
La Nouvelle Université Bulgare, Filière francophone de sciences
sociales et politiques
Association bulgare des sciences politiques
avec la collaboration de
AISLF, AUF, GASPECO, Université Libre de Bruxelles
et sous l’égide du président de la République G . Parvanov
Conflit: pathologie, facteur de désintégration des rapports sociaux ou
phénomène social normal au même titre que la transgression des règles? La
théorie oscille encore entre ces deux pôles. Le 11 septembre 2001 a renforcé la
première interprétation de manière à nous faire oublier la seconde.
Le conflit est à la base de la thématisation du social. De Héraclite « le conflit
est le principe ou le père de toutes les choses » en passant par Hobbes « la
guerre de tous contre tous » on continue à se demander si le conflit est
antérieur à la société ou en est l’essence. Les divergences disparaissent en ce qui
concerne la caractéristique principale de notre époque, notamment: la société
moderne est une société conflictuelle. Si la communauté est associée à la
concorde, la fraternité et l’amitié, la société est inextricablement liée aux
rivalités, contestations, conflits. La théorie du contrat est conçue pour éliminer
comme minant le pacte social. Une société entièrement régularisable n’existe
pas et ne peut être qu’idéal totalitaire. La liberté réside dans cette faille.
Destruction ou innovation ?
L’ambiguïté du conflit est qu’il est à la fois facteur de destruction et de
désintégration, ainsi que d’innovation et de créativité. Cette ambiguïté croît du
fait que la culture agônophile, le plaisir du combat, l’esthétisation du conflit
englobent ces deux dimensions opposées. Des Croisades au Djihad et aux
kamikazes palestiniens, on découvre la même vénération du héros – mi-dieu,
mi-homme.
La construction des nouvelles sociétés passe par une redéfinition du conflit. Le
tissu social communiste était conçu de manière à éradiquer toutes les
différences (sociales, culturelles, de genre). N’est permis que ce que la règle
permet, le reste est interdit. Le post-communisme essaie de remplacer cette
conception par celle de la société ouverte : est permis tout ce qui n’est pas
interdit. Ce qui reste à découvrir est le conflit comme jeu à somme positive. Il a
été et est toujours compris comme jeu à somme nulle où les gains d’un des
acteurs sont les pertes de son opposant.
L’accent trop instrumental sur la résolution des conflits obscurcit la distinction
entre le polémique et l’agonal (J. Freund), conflit violent et conflit non violent.
Elle empêche une conceptualisation du conflit dans la diversité de ses
expressions : destructrice, mais aussi créatrice et intégratrice.
Thèmes du colloque
Le colloque se propose de continuer cette réflexion dans plusieurs dimensions :
la nature des enjeux ; la distinction entre antagonismes, contradictions,
antinomies, incompatibilités, lutte et combat, violence directe et violence non
directe, conflit symétrique et conflit asymétrique, agression et agressivité ;
l’institutionalisation et la régulation des conflits (conciliation, médiation,
arbitrage); la prévention.
La démocratie est compatible avec des sociétés plus contestataires (France) et
plus consensuelles (Pays Bas). L’approche à la résolution des conflits est
fonction d’une autre variable – la confiance.
A la différence du conflit qui jouit d’un grand intérêt, même exagéré, de la part
de leaders, décideurs, chercheurs, la confiance se fait plus discrète, avec moins
de publications, cours universitaires, colloques. Elle reste, pourtant, un élément
clé de la culture démocratique. Son absence ouvre un large espace aux visions
de conspiration, à l’exagération des risques, au non respect des institutions et
des règles du jeu. Plus présente dans les pays à tradition protestante, plus
fragile dans des sociétés à tradition catholique et orthodoxe, elle tisse les liens
sociaux qui assurent la base nécessaire à l’implantation et à la consolidation de
la démocratie.
La thématique du colloque va se décliner en trois axes :
• Conflits évacués, conflits éclatés;
• Confiance, capital social, culture;
• La démocratie à l’épreuve des conflits ou comment bâtir la confiance.

THE ERMA IN DEMOCRACY AND HUMAN RIGHTS
IN SOUTH EAST EUROPE
REPORT ON THE ACADEMIC YEAR 2001-2002
The following report was presented by the scientific co-directors of the masters (Professors
Stefano Bianchini and Zdravko Grebo) to the awarding diploma’s ceremony held to Sarajevo
on October 28th 2002.
The success of the pilot project in the Academic Year 2000-2001 has created
the best conditions for strengthening the ERMA in Democracy and Human
Rights in SEE and launching a new 3-year program thanks to a grant offered
by the European Commission, the support of the European Parliament and of
the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
When the outcomes of the pilot project were presented last year in Sarajevo,
we stressed the pioneering approach that characterised its implementation. We
can now say that our experience has significantly improved, particularly in
dealing with a regional project that takes place in the region.
Affected for a decade by the deep crises of the institutions and the States, by a
long and terrible war, by prejudice, rivalries, economic and social collapses, the
education of the young generation is a tremendous challenge in cultural and
political terms. At the same time, as Europeans, this is also a crucial task that
our Universities must face.
In a context of EU enlargement and deepening, while South East Europe is
still facing instability and nationalist tensions, Universities can seriously
contribute to the strengthening of dialogue and co-operation in South East
Europe through their own co-operation and educational activities.
The Master’s Program is, in this sense, an opportunity to emphasise the role of
the autonomous Universities as institutions with a universal dimension that
cannot accept forced territorial and cultural limitations, nationalistic
homogenisation, or rigidity in the flows of communications. This is the spirit
in which the partner Universities of the ERMA in Democracy and Human
Rights in SEE have understood their commitment.
Offering their services to the implementation of regional strategies, the
Universities are contributing to the rooting of the belief that our future is a
common future; that this future can be peacefully built only with our
neighbours and not against them.
It is not an easy task. We have to deal with crucial problems. Let us just
summarise the most relevant of them:
1. Facilities. The program increasingly needs rooms for seminars and
computer rooms, research facilities (including books, journals and other
academic materials), guesthouses for students and professors, offices.
2. Political support for the authorities in order to facilitate visa regimes for
students and professors, not only in Bosnia, but also in the neighbouring
countries, because students and professors move for lectures, internships and
other program activities throughout the region.
3. Communications, both in terms of information technologies and in terms
of connections within the region. Nevertheless, the experience of the Master’s
Program shows that regional mobility is possible and should be strongly
encouraged. This leads us to say that the Program can also be considered a
lever for launching new regional projects, a specific Socrates program for the
region and other measures that might develop mobility and networking.
We thank for the innovative spirit and the generosity of the staff of the
“Center for Interdisciplinary Post-Graduate Studies”, the strong support of the
Rector of the University of Sarajevo, the patience of our colleagues and of the
students, the sympathetic attitude of many officials in the embassies: all of
them actively cooperated to overcome, at least in part, the mentioned
problems.
As for the professors, they had to establish a certain degree of harmonisation
among different teaching systems and different approaches to academic
programs, as well as to collect a basic bibliography, not always available in
Sarajevo. Once again, thanks to determination, motivation, and generosity, we
are gradually solving these problems and creating a strong international Faculty
around the University of Sarajevo. It is a reason of pride for all of us that one
of the distinguished members of this International Faculty is currently holding
the office of Minister in the Republic of Croatia.
The Master’s Program is an investment for the future of the whole Region and
a wealth, which is stemming from the co-operation of a plurality of subjects in
the political and cultural spheres. The numbers of our MA Program offer good
evidence of this.
In the Academic Year 2001-2002 we enrolled 33 students from 8 countries and
1 internationally governed territory, as follows: 4 from UN administered
Kosovo, 8 from Bulgaria, 1 from Croatia, 1 from Macedonia, 14 from BiH (all
of them from the Federation), 3 from the EU (1 Italian, 1 Spanish and 1
Austrian), 2 from the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
The students attended a full time interdisciplinary program structured into
3 terms.
The first term started in October 2001 and came to an end in the midst of
June 2002. It took place in Sarajevo at the headquarters of the “Center for
Interdisciplinary Post-Graduate Studies”, successfully led by professor
Zdravko Grebo, who has created the best conditions for rooting the Master’s
Program in this city and its University. The term was devoted to lectures and
seminars, articulated into 5 clusters. The first cluster concentrated on
Philosophy and Anthropology of Human Rights, the second on Democracy,
the third on Ethnicity and Religion, the fourth on Social, Economic and
Cultural Rights, and the fifth on Protection and Implementation of Human
Rights. In all the clusters we had both an extensive European and a global
focus.
Lectures lasted four hours a day, during 28 weeks, under the direction of a
Faculty set up by 46 professors and guest speakers coming from 18 countries
and 1 internationally governed territory. In addition, during their stay in
Sarajevo the students went on a field trip to Mostar, visited 2 International
Organization Missions (the EU Commission Delegation and the OSCE Office
in Sarajevo) and the Austrian Embassy.
During the same period, each student wrote five research-papers that were
evaluated by the professors involved in the 5 clusters. Then followed an oral
exam on the topics discussed in the clusters.
Subsequently, the students were engaged in 7-week long, assessed internships
in regional Human Rights NGO’s and Intergovernmental
Organizations. According to the regional philosophy of the course, the
students served internships in countries different from those of their origin.
The internships took place in 8 countries and 1 internationally governed
territory: Albania – 2 students, Bosnia and Herzegovina – 7 students, Bulgaria
– 2 students, Croatia – 7 students, UN administered Kosovo – 1 student,
Macedonia – 4 students, Romania – 1 student, Slovenia – 1 student, FR
Yugoslavia – 7 students from Serbia and 1 from Montenegro.
Finally, in the third term the students went to Italy for 45 days. They were
hosted in Bertinoro, a residential center of the University of Bologna, and
attended 5 seminars directed by 4 professors coming from Bosnia and
Herzegovina, Italy and the United States of America. During this final term of
the program the students had the chance to visit the ERMA Program based in
Venice. The visit was part of a strategy, supported by the European
Commission, aiming to strengthen the networking amongst the European
Master’s Programs in Human Rights. Strongly welcoming the initiative, we
have participated in a meeting in Brussels with colleagues from the Master’s
Programs of Padua, Malta, Pretoria and Honk Kong. We have also invited
colleagues from South Africa to teach in Sarajevo and they have published two
of the final theses of our pilot project. In addition, the University of Bologna
has hosted a meeting of ERMA Masters in Forlì last year.
During the 45 days in Bertinoro, the students finalized their MA dissertations,
which were defended in Sarajevo last week.
As the didactic activity is concerned, 3 academic tutors, 2 from Bosnia and one
from Bulgaria, assisted the students throughout the Academic year. They
supervised the students in their activities and offered useful help in writing
papers, overcoming didactic difficulties, preparing the basic tools for their MA
dissertations and ensuring the flow of communications between the Faculty
and the students. In addition, a part-time librarian/tutor assisted the students
in collecting bibliographies and books.
As you can see, the structure of the program and the participation in its
implementation offer clear evidence of the deep regional character of the
Master’s Program; they were made possible thanks to the generosity of all the
tutors and professors involved, and thanks to the tremendous efforts made by
the project partners, i.e. the Universities of Zagreb, Tirana, LSE London, NBU
Sofia, Skopje, Belgrade, Graz, Athens and three NGO’s of Belgrade, Prishtina
and Podgorica, which supported the program from the moment the pilotproject was created.
Worthy of note, the students significantly improved and made great efforts
during the implementation of the program. Most of their MA theses are of
very high quality, some of them even really original, to the point that the
Faculty have made the decision to publish the best 7 of them.
In conclusion, continuity is crucial for the success of the initiative. It is evident
that lack of continuity would negatively affect the experience accumulated and
the expected impact of the ERMA Program in SEE. The fact that last year the
European Commission and the European Parliament made the decision to
confirm their financial support to the program is encouraging and it is
satisfactory recognition of our work.
For sure this continuity dates back further than the year 2000. In fact, the
ERMA Program is the «natural» outcome of the efforts made by the
«International Network Europe and the Balkans», of its International Summer
School in Cervia
Now, we are working to broaden the partnership and further develop the
program. The Universities of Sarajevo and Bologna, with the decision to jointly
recognize the ERMA Degree, have confirmed their willingness to continue
their commitment in a regional dimension with the indispensable contribution
of all partner Universities.

18. Post – communist transition as a european problem
edited by Stefano Bianchini, George Schöpflin & Paul Shoup
When international research on the post communist transition in CEI
(Central European Initiative) countries started in 1999, the issues analysed
in this book were not on the agenda. They emerged, unexpectedly, in the
course of the project, which involved about fifty European and American
scholars. This book, the first in a series of four, deals innovatively and
provocatively with a crucial question: to what extent has the post communist
transition in CEI countries gradually turned into a difficult transformation,
which cannot be isolated from the process of European integration? In other
words, in the post-communist transition an integral part of a transition
which has involved Europe as a whole, since the end of the cold war, in the
reconstruction of its political unity?
The overcoming of the separation caused by bloc politics
interacts with the process globalisation and localisms, making the European
scenario much more interdependent and dynamic than the now obsolete
interpretations based on the East-West divide are capable of investigating.
This book provides readers with interpretation tools which defy facile
current opinions, looking at post-communist Europe from the point of view
of Europe, tout court.
19. Post - Communist transition to a market economyLessons and challenges, edited by Domenico Mario Nuti and
Milica Uvalic (available from April 2003)
This book is the second in the series of four volumes, dedicated to countries
in transition in Central and South Eastern Europe, which today are also
members of the Central European Initiative (originally known as the
Quadrangolare). Promoted by the Italian government, the Central European
Initiative has since its launching in 1989 expanded to include seventeen
countries, in addition to Austria, Hungary, Italy, and former Yugoslavia as
its founding members, a number of countries from the former communist
world which, after the fall of the Wall of Berlin, decided to join this regional
initiative. The volume contains seventeen essays dedicated to the transition
to a market economy in Central and South Eastern Europe, which are the
product of research initiated in 1999 on different aspects of the post
communist transition. The papers address some of the crucial problems of
transition, the main lessons learned during the last twelve years, and the key
challenges ahead. Relying on knowledge and experts of the International
Network Europe and the Balkans created in 1993 at the University of
Bologna, this inter-disciplinary project involved more than fifty European
and American scholars dealing with different aspects of transition, of which
around a third were economists that contributed to the present volume.
Economic aspects of the post-communist transition are analysed within
three groups of topics: key issues of transition, the rich experience with
economic reforms in individual countries members of the Central European
Initiative, and international aspects linked to prospects of regional and EU
integration.
