The Southeast Europe Project was established in January 2005, after the merger of the Western Policy Center with the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, to promote scholarly research and informed debate about the full range of U.S. political, commercial, and security, issues and interests in the eastern Mediterranean, southern Balkan, and adjacent regions.
Working in conjunction with the East European and West European Studies Programs, the Southeast Europe Project’s research and public affairs programs focus on regional and functional issues centered on Greece, Turkey, Cyprus, and Bulgaria, with particular attention to European Union enlargement and NATO expansion and realignment in the geopolitical landscape of the 21st century.
