Overview
John Lampe reviews the promising prospects from this past October's Balkan Security Forum that he attended and reconsiders them in the light of recent events across the region.
"Democracy's Survival in the New Global Disorder" started with a constructive exchange between the Prime Ministers of Serbia and Albania, the two common themes were keeping regional security grounded in the NATO alliance and pursuing the process of EU accession even if there was no immediate prospect of membership.
Since then, however, the new year has begun with challenges addressed but not resolved by conference sessions. They range from the Kosovo and refugee issues to media freedom and the pressure on democratic institutions from new or divided governments in the region and the populist currents across Europe.

Global Europe Program
The Global Europe Program is focused on Europe’s capabilities, and how it engages on critical global issues. We investigate European approaches to critical global issues. We examine Europe’s relations with Russia and Eurasia, China and the Indo-Pacific, the Middle East and Africa. Our initiatives include “Ukraine in Europe” – an examination of what it will take to make Ukraine’s European future a reality. But we also examine the role of NATO, the European Union and the OSCE, Europe’s energy security, transatlantic trade disputes, and challenges to democracy. The Global Europe Program’s staff, scholars-in-residence, and Global Fellows participate in seminars, policy study groups, and international conferences to provide analytical recommendations to policy makers and the media.
