Transparency International Summer School, Vilnius, 11-15 July 2011
The aim of the Summer School is to provide student leaders from across the
region with an opportunity to learn first-hand from professionals working in
the anti-corruption field. The School seeks to provide students with a
peer-to-peer learning and integrity-building platform that
links international experience with transparency and integrity to the
current situation in post-communist countries. Participants of the
Transparency International Summer School on Integrity will learn about the
causes of corruption and practical ways in which post-communist
countries can become more transparent and accountable.
The School staff will offer students state-of-the-art professional guidance
and compelling case studies showing long-term sustainability through
transparent and integrity. Led by experienced anti-corruption professionals,
the School seeks to create an environment that brings discussions about
transparency and integrity from a high public policy level into the
classroom and the everyday life of students.
University students will earn 2 ECTS credits upon successful completion of
the course.
The language of instruction is English.
The Summer School is organised by Transparency International Lithuania in
cooperation with Mykolas Romeris University.

Workshop: LSE-KFG Research Workshop, Environmental Governance in SEE, LSE, 6 May 2011
LSEE-KFG RESEARCH WORKSHOP
Environmental Governance in South East Europe and the Western Balkans
The Transformative Power of Europe?
Keynote speakers:
Prof. Liliana Andonova - Graduate Institute of International and Development
Studies, Geneva
Prof. Miranda Schreurs - Freie Universitat Berlin
Prof. Tanja Borzel - Freie Universitat Berlin
Other speakers:
Dr. Matthew Gorton - University of Newcastle, UK
Dr. Adam Fagan - Queen Mary, University of London / LSEE
Dr. Cristina Parau - University of Oxford
Dr. Aron Buzogany - German Research Institute for Public Administration,
Speyer
Dr. Claudiu Craciun - SNSPA, Bucharest
Prof. Mina Petrović - University of Belgrade
Establishing effective environmental governance across the new member and
contender states of South Eastern Europe represents one of the most complex
challenges for the EU. In terms of the prospects of future enlargement, and
the
continued transformative power of Europe, the environmental perspective
provides an invaluable empirical and conceptual vantage point to consider
whether lessons of previous enlargements have been learnt; to assess the
implementation of soft, non-binding forms of regulation; to examine the
realities
of weak states and limited statehood; and to consider the extent to which
limited
success, or indeed outright failure, will impact upon the normative
authority of
the EU. In addition, the nexus of Europeanization, environmental regulation
and
energy security provides an interesting perspective from which to consider
whether EU regulation and conditionality remain relevant in the context of
significant non-EU (Russian) investment in regional energy sectors.
At the level of domestic politics, not only is formal compliance with the
environmental acquis extremely costly and administratively burdensome, but
effective implementation ultimately depends upon radical new forms of
governance and interaction. Perhaps more than any other policy area, success
is
contingent upon governments engaging local as well as trans-national
non-state
actors and fostering regional co-operation in order to respond positively to
global agendas on climate change, global warming and a reduction in GHGs.
The
extent to which the Commission is effectively driving environmental
governance
within South Eastern Europe and the Western Balkans also offers a valuable
optic on the capacity of the EU to act as the key global player in driving
climate
change governance.
This workshop aims to bring together scholars and practitioners, both within
Western Europe and the region, working on aspects of environmental
governance and regulation in new member states (Bulgaria and Romania as well
as CEE states), and candidate and potential candidate states within the
region
(Albania, Montenegro, FYROM, BiH, Serbia and Croatia). Comparative papers
and
perspectives are particularly welcome, as are contributions focusing on
institutional as well as network analysis, or multi-level governance.
The specific aims of the workshop are: (i) to map and critically analyse
emergent
regional and inter-state co-operation; (ii) to examine the impact of
Europeanization via enlargement on environmental governance (institutions
and
networks) in the context of weak civil societies and limited statehood;
(iii) to
critically assess the extent to which new forms of multilateral governance
and
regulation are emerging within the region; (iv) to consider “local”
environmental
regulation and regional responses in the context of energy sector
development,
climate change and ‘global’ trans-national environmental agendas and
initiatives.
