  • 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. Veronika Nitsche, WUS Austria 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.

  • 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.
