for Participants 2009 Jean Monnet Advanced Study Institute “Europe’s Evolving Security Architecture: Integration, Cooperation or Confrontation?” Faculty of Law and Social Sciences, Donetsk State Management University, Ukraine >>Background >>Target Audience >>Main Activities >>Core Faculty >>Invited Distinguished Guests >>Project Directors >>Selected Topics Covered by the Advanced Study Institute >>Registration and Financial Information >>Contact Background The dual enlargement of NATO and the EU have created a fundamentally different geopolitical situation in Europe and beyond. Against this background, the overall thematic focus of this Advanced Study Institute is to reflect on the implications of dual enlargement for the EU, to assess its broader impact on European security, and to translate this into new and innovative curricula, thus increasing the quality of higher education in the field of European Security Studies and to contribute to the enhancement of this area of studies by applying new research and teaching tools from an interdisciplinary and cross-cultural perspective. The purposes of this Institute are, first, to stimulate excellence in teaching and research in Security Studies in higher education institutions in Europe generally and the CIS particularly; second, to create new opportunities for junior faculty to present the results of their research and teaching activity and exchange ideas; and third, to raise the teaching and research skills of participating young faculty by training in interactive and experiential learning techniques. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaTOP Target Audience The Advanced Study Institute will select 25-30 participants from the EU and the CIS. The Institute is designed specifically for junior faculty in European Security Studies, post-doctoral and advanced doctoral level students, young practitioners from civil society groups, and policy staff from national governments and international organisations. We give preference to junior faculty (PhD holders or PhD students at the advanced stage of their research) with a strong background in European Studies, Political Sciences and Interna-tional Relations, including Security Studies as well as History, Economics and Law. Participants will be selected according to the following criteria: high-quality research and teaching potential, motivation and long term interests in the field of European Security Studies. A particular effort will be made to give individuals from countries with intra-state conflicts and limited access to such types of activity the opportunity to meet and discuss the challenges facing their countries. Post-graduate students and junior faculty from North America are also invited to participate in the project. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaTOP Main Activities The project will run for one year and roughly consists of three phases: in the first phase continuous web-based learning (Advanced Distance Learning Working Groups) will be organised, in which we assess the needs of the target group with regard to European Security Studies and engage the group or individual participants in preparatory activities. On the basis of this phase, we will develop specific training modules that together will form a five-day Winter Institute in Donetsk and a twelve-day Summer Institute in Sevastopol, Crimea (second and third phases). • Preparatory phase (November 2008 – December 2008): each participant will join a web-based master class and work on their academic portfolio and research proposal. • Winter Institute “Enlargement and Beyond: The Process of EU and NATO Accession and Its Impact on Europe’s Security Architecture”. In January 2009, Donetsk State Management University will host participants for five days to present the results of work undertaken so far and to participate in a range of sessions led by high-level policy-makers, study-tours to local military bases and political institutions, and roundtable discussions. • Interim period (January 2009 – August 2009): Participants, in consultation with core faculty, will work on their selected topic and prepare it for presentation at the Summer Institute. • Summer Institute “The EU as a Global Conflict Manager: From Ad-hoc Reaction to Strategic Policy Coherence?”: In August 2009, a Summer Institute in Sevastopol will conclude the project with participants presenting the results of their work, and having opportunities to participate in a range of sessions led by high-level policy-makers, study-tours to naval bases in the area and to the institutions of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, simulation games and roundtable discussions. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaTOP Core Faculty • Prof. Dr. Sven Biscop, Royal Belgian Institute for International Affairs, Belgium • Lieutenant-Colonel Dr. Marcel de Haas, Clingendael, Netherlands Institute of International Relations, The Netherlands • Colonel Prof. Dr. Olexander Litvinenko, Security Council of Ukraine • Prof. Dr. Marian Zulean, University of Bucharest, Romania • Dr. Tatyana Malyarenko, Faculty of Law, Donetsk State Management University, Ukraine • Dr. Sergey Markedonov, Institute for Political and Military Affairs and Moscow State University, Russia • Dr. Andras Racz, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Hungary, Hungary • Prof. Dr. Stefan Wolff, Centre for International Crisis Management and Conflict Resolution, University of Nottingham, UK aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaTOP Invited Distinguished Guests • Dr. Anatoliy Gritsenko, Deputy of Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, Head of the Committee on National Security and Defense of Ukraine, former Minister of Defense of Ukraine • Dr. Temuri Yakobashvili, Minister of Defense of Georgia • NATO Representative to Ukraine • Dr. Hans-Jürgen Heimsoeth, Ambassador of Germany in Ukraine aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaTOP Project Directors Tatyana Malyarenko (Ukraine) Stefan Wolff (UK) aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaTOP Selected Topics Covered by the Advanced Study Institute The following topics will be part of the study activities, and participants are encouraged to develop their project proposal in one of these areas: • The European Neighbourhood Policy and Conflict Resolution • The EU’s Common Foreign and Security Policy: Tools to Preserve the Peace • The EU Strategy on Kosovo • The EU, the OSCE and the European Security Architecture • European Union and Ukraine: The Problems of Energy and Security • Security and Illegal Migration in Europe • Organised Crime and EU Security • Is Ukraine Part of Europe’s Future? • EU Military Capabilities Development • Getting the Balance Right: Military and Civilian Tools of EU Conflict Management • Western Standards?
