The Balkans Forum

Information about the next Balkans Forum can be found here when available.

The Balkans Forum brought together a diverse group of experts-academics, activists, policy makers, and practitioners-for sustained dialogue on U.S. policy in the Balkans. Each monthly session was organized around a brief presentation from one or two Balkan specialists followed by a roundtable discussion.

The theme for the 2001-2002 session of Balkans Forum was "Learning Peace in the Balkans." While the experience of building peace in the Balkans has been significant, it has not proven to be cumulative. Lessons learned in some instances have not always been replicated in others. During 2002, we examined the strategic choices-and the outcomes of those choices-made by international actors in their attempts to prevent deadly conflict in the region.
