The Western Balkans and the EU: ‘The Hour of Europe’ The Western Balkans and the EU: ‘the hour of Europe’ of hour ‘the EU: the and Balkans Western The Today, more than fifteen years after the end of the wars that accompanied Yugoslavia’s dissolution, the ‘Balkan question’ remains more than ever a ‘European question’. In the eyes of many Europeans in the 1990s, Bosnia was the symbol of a collective failure, while Kosovo later became a catalyst for an emerging Common Foreign and THE WESTERN BALKANS Security Policy (CFSP). In the last decade, however, the overall thrust of the EU’s Balkans policy has moved from an agenda dominated by security issues related to the war and its legacies to one focused on the perspective of the Western Balkan states’ accession to the European Union. AND THE EU: This Chaillot Paper, which features contributions from authors from various parts of the region, examines the current state of play in the countries of the Western Balkans ‘THE HOUR OF EuROPE’ with regard to EU accession. It brings together both views from the Balkans states themselves and overarching thematic perspectives. Edited by Jacques Rupnik For the first time the European Union has become involved in the formation of new nation-states that also aspire to become members of the Union. The EU’s transformative power has proved effective in integrating established states; now it is confronted with the challenge of integrating new and sometimes contested states. Against this Chaillot Papers | June 2011 background, this paper makes the case for a concerted regional approach to EU enlargement, and a renewed and sustained commitment to the European integration of the Western Balkans. by Rupnik Jacques Edited ISBN 978-92-9198-187-8 published by phone: + 33 (0) 1 56 89 19 30 ISSN 1017-7566 the European Union fax: + 33 (0) 1 56 89 19 31 QN-AA-11-126-EN-C Institute for Security Studies e-mail: [email protected] doi:10.2815/24268 43 avenue du Président Wilson www.iss.europa.eu PAPER CHAILLOT 75775 Paris cedex 16 - France 126 126 CHAILLOT PAPERS BOOKS In January 2002 the Institute for Security Studies (EUISS) became an 125 118 autonomous Paris-based agency of the European Union.

  • Transition in Afghanistan 2012
    TRANSITION IN AFGHANISTAN 2011-2014 Five Parliamentary Studies NATO Parliamentary Assembly Founded in 1955, the NATO Parliamentary Assembly (NATO PA) serves as the consultative inter-parliamentary organisation for the North Atlantic Alliance. Bringing together members of parliaments throughout the Atlantic Alliance, the NATO PA provides an essential link between NATO and the parliaments of its member nations, helping to build parliamentary and public consensus in support of Alliance policies. At the same time, it facilitates parliamentary awareness and understanding of key security issues and contributes to a greater transparency of NATO policies. Crucially, it helps maintain and strengthen the transatlantic relationship, which underpins the Atlantic Alliance. Since the end of the Cold War the Assembly has assumed a new role by integrating into its work parliamentarians from those countries in Central and Eastern Europe and beyond who seek a closer association with NATO. This integration has provided both political and practical assistance and has contributed to the strengthening of parliamentary democracy throughout the Euro-Atlantic region, thereby complementing and reinforcing NATO’s own programme of partnership and co-operation. The headquarters of the Assembly’s 30-strong International Secretariat staff members is located in central Brussels. 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS Declaration 392 on Supporting Transition in Afghanistan presented by Hugh Bayley 7 Governance Challenges in Afghanistan: An Update by Vitalino Canas 13 Transition in Afghanistan: Assessing the Security Effort by Sven Mikser Finding Workable Solutions in Afghanistan: the Work of the International Community in Building a Functioning Economy and Society by Jeppe Kofod 95 Afghanistan – The Regional Context by John Dyrby Paulsen 139 Countering the Afghan Insurgency: Low-Tech Threats, High-Tech Solutions by Sen.
