Vorwort
Recent international upheavals have led to the decline of bilateral, regional and intra-state relations in the Western Balkans, as well as to the re-strengthening of nationalistic attitudes in the region. These developments have posed major challenges to liberal democracy and democratic processes. In addition, the analyses of the 34th RSSEE Workshop address the economic transition and show opportunities for and obstacles to the region’s security development.
Since the 1990s, national and international initiatives to strengthen the rule of law in the region have achieved mixed progress. Two selected papers of the 35th RSSEE Workshop focus on the role of higher legal education in strengthening the rule of law and present, as an example, the successful initiative of The Office for the Suppression of Corruption and Organised Crime in Croatia.
