The EU in the Western Balkans: A Reflection of Commitment to a Truly

“Geopolitical Europe”?

The Western Balkans has been called “the courtyard” of the EU, surrounded on all sides by member states. There is scarcely anywhere else on Planet Earth where the EU has greater institutional heft and leverage, both with its offer of a “membership perspective” and its wider political, economic, and hard power tools. And yet, while for most citizens of regional countries, it is the most favoured geopolitical actor (and even more powerful a values exponent), it is being outplayed by other more determined actors, geopolitical, regional, and local. In his remarks, Kurt Bassuener will explain how this dynamic came to be and how it might be righted with “an EU geopolitics of values.”

Kurt Bassuener is co-founder and senior associate of the Democratisation Policy Council, a Berlin-based think-tank. He lives in Sarajevo. He has researched and written widely on issues pertaining to the former

Yugoslav space, democratisation and support for those pursuing the establishment of an accountable democracy, and how power-sharing systems designed to end internal conflict perpetuate warlord politics and allocation of power, and proposes avenues to compel constructive change. His forthcoming book, "Peace Cartels," based on his PhD dissertation at the University of St. Andrews, addresses this theme.
