South-East Europe Programme

The South-East Europe Programme of ELIAMEP was set up in 2011.  

Research and policy analysis on Balkan affairs has a long tradition in ELIAMEP going back to its early days in 1988 

The Programme intends to follow that legacy of highquality scholarly and policy work. 

The South-East Europe Programme publishes policy analyses and research findings through the standard publishing outlets of ELIAMEP. 

 It also reaches wider audiences by publishing short articles and op-eds in prominent Greek and international media and its news are communicated to several thousand subscribers through the mailing lists of ELIAMEP and the South-East Europe Programme as well as through social media.  

Last but not least, the South-East Europe Programme is associated with the academic journal Southeast European and Black Sea Studies, published by ELIAMEP in partnership with Taylor & Francis. 

 

SOUTHEAST EUROPEAN AND BLACK SEA STUDIES

Our multi-disciplinary academic journal publishes new research and comparative analyses on countries in Southeast Europe and the wider Black Sea region. Published by Routledge/Taylor & Francis in collaboration with ELIAMEP.
