Balkan Case Challenge Is More Than Just an Ordinary Challenge The Balkan Case Challenge is more than just an ordinary challenge. It is a truly commendable experience which provides young people with a wide range of opportunities for networking, personal growth and development. During the event I got the chance to cooperate with and learn from highly qualified young people from different backgrounds, improve my teamwork skills and work on an inspiring case, and at the same time enjoy the lovely city of Vienna. Irena Efremovska, Macedonia, BIZ participant 2010 The very fi rst moments of the Balkan Case Challenge made it clear that we were here for a common goal: bringing us and our countries closer together. I have not only gained a lot of professional experience but also found friends from all over South-Eastern Europe. Thomas Moik, Austria, LMC participant 2009 The BCC makes a difference, not only for the participants who defi nitely make new friends and in the best case also get a job through the BCC, but also for the organizers.

This is an Austrian and European responsibility, since everything that we have seen happen in our neighboring regions was decided at the latest between the Viennese congress in 1815, and in London, Paris, Berlin, Petersburg and Moscow and Vienna in 1918. It is a test for the European sense of responsibility. The BCC is an important and constructive contribution, since without support for education, it is impossible to propel a transformation for peace and economic and social stability. Through education, we observe our responsibility for Europe and the future. Every discussion about immigration, key workers, EU-development, etc. is meaningless if young people are not allowed a future. This is, of course, also applicable to the Balkan region. If we withhold there, we are withholding from the future of Europe and Austria. My thanks to everyone who has brought about great things in these 10 years. Erhard Busek Chairman Institute for the Danube Region and Central Europe 4 wwordsords The Balkan Case Challenge, organized by WUS Austria with the support of the Austrian Development Agency and many other private sponsors including the ERSTE Stiftung, has developed over the past ten years into being the most important Talent-Show in the Balkans in the arena of higher education. The students from all the Balkan countries and Austria, who meet and work with each other in four competitions, can not only measure their strengths across the various ethnic groups, but also build valuable contacts in the world of economics and business in the entire Balkan region and in Austria. The pioneering initiative from WUS Austria has developed into a fl agship project, which had to overcome many obstacles and problems in connection with visa rules between the EU and the Balkan countries. The small group from Moldavia, on the road for three days in a rickety bus just to arrive in Sarajevo for the fi nal competition, remains a vivid memory for me. The intellectual potential of the Balkans is important. As a result of war and displacement in the 1990s, young people from the Balkans were obliged to continue their studies at universities around the world, broadening their horizons considerably. After the war, wide-ranging reforms were instituted in the universities and step-by-step, they steadily increased in their leadership potential in European higher learning circles. The Balkans can boast a relatively high rate of young people who are increasing the numbers of those pursuing higher education and who represent the most important potential for the future of the Balkans: the human resources that are necessary to strengthen their economy and society, but also as a workforce in other European countries. Already today, many Austrian companies that operate internationally profi t from key workers who have left their home countries because of the war in the Balkans and now fill important roles. In the future it will be necessary to contribute to new masters' programs and other types of endeavors so that the intellectual potential of the Balkans becomes an advantage for that region as well as for the development of Europe as a whole. For this to happen, it is important that politics is kept away from the universities and that the State and the international community provide the appropriate resources. Wolfgang Benedek Chairman WUS Austria 5 foreforeweww Europe Grows Together ERSTE Foundation has supported the Balkan Case Challenge since 2006. This competition improves young people's networks and with them, their job opportunities. In the spirit of European thought, it makes connections across boundaries possible. In the fi ve years of intense collaborative work with WUS Austria, we have experienced the event as something that successfully intensifi es the collaboration between higher education and the economy, and which encourages the critical exchange of knowledge and ideas between students in South-Eastern Europe and Austria. When we started out, we were impressed by the enormous engagement and enthusiasm of the participants. The dynamic cultivated by this competition gave the impression that a united Europe can become a reality much more quickly than what pessimists might think. The young people who have participated in the BCC in the past ten years represent the best potential for these countries. If one looks around at NGOs, with whom we at ERSTE Foundation work frequently, it quickly becomes obvious that many of the activists working for them are very young. In this way, the Balkan Case Challenge is like a place where one is privileged to meet the activists of tomorrow's society, today. More still: the BCC is a forum for further development and higher education. Unfortunately, there are not many opportunities for young people from these regions to meet others from so many countries on such a level, and to present their talents, capabilities and their vision for a future of breadth and openness. Through this event, more emphasis can be put on the continuing development of their own higher education system. Throughout the past eleven years, many European universities have tried to implement the so-called Bologna Process, so that they can take part in the newly-ordered landscape of higher education as an open institution, strongly connected internationally. The battle for the best thinkers has made its way into the Balkans as well. The Balkan Case Challenge serves as a bridge between regions which can learn from each other. Here, the future do-ers, visionaries and thinkers of these regions meet on an even level; these are young, extremely motivated people. I was encouraged by the high level of education represented by the participants of every year's event. Many companies recognized the chance they had to gain new top-talent, and took the event very seriously. Of course, the young democracy of the Balkans has to continually battle with its past. Although sights are fi xed on the future, sometimes they are diverted backwards. But the ERSTE Foundation wants to open new ways of seeing and, above all, encourage discourse in areas of society and culture. Here, young people play the most important role. They show us, today, the true picture of the future which we are trying to realize with them. The most important aspect of this is for the young people of the region to feel like they are a part of Europe. For this, there are still many barriers to dismantle. In order for accession to the European Union for each waiting country to work, the people must feel accepted into Europe not through formal acts of politics, but as a vivid reality of being part of a true community, with the pleasures, privileges, and responsibilities that come with it. One can feel, regarding the BCC, that it is mostly about personal experience, and the essential exchange between students. They understand through experience that the others are not 'foreigners' but, instead, interesting partners who enrich each other's personalities in turn. Boris Marte 6 Member of the Managing Board ERSTE Foundation wwordsords BCC10*: 10 years of professional success and networking, 10 years of contribution to mutual understanding and 10 years of long-lasting friendships When planning the 10th edition of the BCC we were certainly aware of the necessity of organizing a very special event; not only because it would be the anniversary event but also because it would mark the interim culmination of the BCC history.

  • A Comparative Study of Post-Ottoman Political Influences on Bulgarian National Identity Construction and Conflict
    A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF POST-OTTOMAN POLITICAL INFLUENCES ON BULGARIAN NATIONAL IDENTITY CONSTRUCTION AND CONFLICT BY Copyright 2008 SPENCER S. STITH Submitted to the graduate degree program in International Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master‘s of Arts ______________________________ Elif Andac, PhD – Sociology, Chairperson ______________________________ Ebenezer Obadare, PhD -Sociology Committee Member ______________________________ Robert F. Baumann, PhD – History Committee Member Date Defended: 15 May 2008 The Thesis Committee for Spencer S. Stith certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF POST-OTTOMAN POLITICAL INFLUENCES ON BULGARIAN NATIONAL IDENTITY CONSTRUCTION AND CONFLICT Committee: ___________________________ Elif Andac, Chairperson* ___________________________ Ebenezer Obadare ___________________________ Robert F. Baumann Date Approved: 08 June 2008 ii Abstract Bulgarian society has a successful history of maintaining a relatively peaceful multicultural environment over centuries. This thesis is a comparative analysis of three transitional periods in Bulgaria coinciding with 1) the latter years of Ottoman dominion: 1762-1877, 2) the end of the Balkan Wars and World Wars I and II: 1878- 1947, and 3) the latter years of the Communist dominion: 1947-1989. These periods will be analyzed with the aim to understand the role that regional political agendas have played in shaping an imagined Bulgarian national identity. It will be shown that when it has occurred, identity-based conflict in Bulgaria can be better explained by examining the contributions of nationalist political influences from 1876 – 1989 on identity construction rather than an inherent Balkan propensity to religious and ethnic intolerance.

Based on a questionnaire administered to key Slovenian actors in the presidency, the analysis confirmed some of the theoretical expectations and revealed certain disparities. Our analysis confirms theoretical predictions that a member state can push through its national interests more easily during its presidency because it possesses certain powers that enable it to set the agenda, which is the most effective way of realising national interests. Especially true in the case of small state presidencies, advocating national interests can also be facilitated by a smaller range of priorities and a greater level of coincidence with the interests of other key actors. We revealed that, besides the country’s size, other factors also limited its ability to fulfil its national interests. In addition to a weak ability for coalition building and lobbying, the two main factors of constraint were the lack of soft knowledge among Slovenian officials and weak coordination among policy agents.
