This course seeks to provide an overview of some of the main topical issues and scholarly perspectives in the social sciences, with special but not exclusive attention to citizenship in the law and politics of the states of Europe with a special focus on Eastern Europe. In addition to the overview the evolution of citizenship regimes, the course will offer an in-depth analysis of different normative frameworks and also analyse their policy implications. Given the special circumstances of new state formation and state succession in large parts of Eastern Europe after 1989, special attention will be given to problems of membership, ethnic selectivity, migration, transnational and dual citizenship with their implications on the de- or re-ethnicization of citizenship. These processes will be examined from comparative and normative perspectives within the larger European context that connects citizenship of the Member States of the EU through a common citizenship of the Union and its associated rights of free movement. Several course faculty are members of the European Commission funded EUDO Citizenship project, a research network which focuses on the citizenship policies in the EU member states and Eastern and Southern borderlines (fSU, Turkey, fRY) of the Union. The research group offers the most comprehensive comparative analysis of European citizenship regimes. The summer course will concentrate on some specific issues that dominate the debate in the old and the new EU states and have to do with the potential re-ethnicization of citizenship through the instrument of non-resident dual citizenship for ethnic kins. It will also disseminate the recent and not yet published novel findings of the project. The faculty will draw intensively on the unique research materials of the project such as citizenship statistics, comparative database on modes of acquisition and loss of citizenship in the European Union member states, collection of laws related to external citizenship, compilation of citizenship related international norms, EU citizenship case law, available online at http://eudo-citizenship.eu/ Central European University's summer school (CEU SUN), established in 1996, is a program in English for graduate students, junior or post-doctoral researchers, teachers and professionals. It offers high-level, research-oriented, interdisciplinary academic courses as well as workshops on policy issues for professional development, taught by internationally renowned scholars and policy experts (including CEU faculty).

  • Kálmán Mizsei Reform Reversal and the State of the Rule-Of-Law in the Former Socialist Countries of Europe
    Kálmán Mizsei Reform reversal and the state of the rule-of-law in the former socialist countries of Europe 28 years since the Soviet socialist doctrine so spectacularly collapsed, increasingly rule-of-law (RoL) is seen as a critical element of the endeavor to transform former “socialist” countries. At the same time, it is strongly identified as one of the most – perhaps the most – important component of long term developmental success1. Yet, there has been much less of a transformation theory around the necessary ingredients of a rule-of-law transition from the socialist economies, politics and societies than in some other areas of this transition. In fact many politicians and social scientists declared at different times that transition was over before even understanding of how this core aspect of it was to be accomplished. This paper investigates whether current reform reversals in the European post-communist countries have expanded to the area of RoL, if so in what way, to what extent and in which countries and with what significance. In order to do that, it briefly also looks into the RoL component of the initial reform efforts. It also looks into the linkages between RoL and other areas of critical systemic characteristics such as economic freedom, democracy, centralization of public administration and human rights in order to establish if we see mutually reinforcing processes or dimensions with (relatively) autonomous dynamics. In this endeavor it uses a combination of country case analyses and deeper investigations of particular sectors, such as judiciary and prosecution. A central theme of the study is “fight against corruption” that usually is misunderstood in the broadly conceived international assistance community around the countries of the region.

  • Lessons from Bank Privatization in Central Europe
    Lessons from Bank Privatization in Central Europe By: John Bonin and Paul Wachtel ·working Paper Number 245 May 1999 May 1999 Lessons from Bank Privatization in Central Europe* John Bonin Professor of Economics Wesleyan University Middletown, CT and Research Fellow William Davidson Institute University of Michigan School of Business Ann Arbor, Ml Paul Wachtel Vice Dean and Research Professor of Economics Stem School of Business, New York University NewYork,NY *An earlier version of this paper was presented at the Bank Privatization Policy Research Workshop sponsored by the World Bank and the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas in Washington, D.C., March 1999. Non-technical Summary The experiences of the three fast-track transition economies, Hungary, Poland and the Czech Republic, with bank privatization provide dramatically different policy stories. The foreign-entry deterring protectionist policy favoring domestic banks in both the Czech Republic and Poland has left their banking sectors with weak market discipline and relatively less-developed products and services compared to Hungary. In fact, the early and somewhat deep entry of foreign banks into Hungary left the government with little choice but to rely on foreign capital to privatize the state banks. Two related fundamental properties for evaluating bank privatization, i.e., independence from the state and proper internal governance, were achieved by foreign majority ownership in the Hungarian banking sector. The Czech Republic has a highly concentrated banking sector and a higher degree of financial intermediation measured by loans to GDP than the other two countries. Its experience with using a hospital bank, both for all non-commercial short-term working capital loans and for bad loans, was not wholly successful because it did not address the incentive issue of preventing new bad loans.

    European Union Border Assistance Mission to Moldova and Ukraine (EUBAM) Working together for regional security and economic development on the Moldovan-Ukrainian border Borders are a vital tool in promoting a safe environment in which trade and people to people contacts can flourish. Effective border management should facilitate, not hinder, trade and contacts across the border. Within its own area, the EU has worked for over 50 years to break down barriers between its Member States that can hamper trade and personal, family and cultural contact. Under the EU's Neighbourhood Policy, the EU is reaching out to its neighbours in order to promote prosperity, common values and security as well as to help break down trade barriers. The EU Border Assistance Mission to Moldova and Ukraine (EUBAM) was established by the European Union at the joint request of the Presidents of Moldova and Ukraine in their joint letter of 2 June 2005. While the management of the border guard and customs services is firmly in the hands of the experienced per sonnel of the two states, the EU agreed to stand ready to assist and advise wherever this may be helpful. The Mission is seeking to make a sustainable contribution to enhancing the delivery of good quality border and customs services to the citizens of Moldova and Ukraine. Our common aim is a system of border and customs controls and border surveillance which meets not only European standards, but also, and especially, the legitimate needs of the citizens of each country. Ferenc BANFI Head of EUBAM 1 2 The EU Border Assistance Mission to Moldova and Ukraine was launched on 30 November 2005 at the joint request of the Presidents of Moldova and Ukraine.
