Description

Coastal Dubrovnik, an ancient walled town on the Adriatic Sea, traces its founding to 18th century Romans. Today, with much of its medieval architecture remaining, and with picturesque sidewalk cafes, Dubrovnik still radiates its unique charm of old Europe-attracting vacationers from all parts of the world.

The transition from communism has been particularly difficult in South Eastern Europe because in addition to the necessary economic and political reforms, it has often been accompanied by state collapse and ethnic conflict. In this program, students will examine these issues through a variety of lenses. Due to The Florida State Universitys long-standing relationships in the Balkan region including collaboration with the 300-year old University of Zagreb participants will have the opportunity to discuss these issues with students, policy makers, and faculty from the region while experiencing life in several of the former Yugoslav states. Since Bosnia, Croatia and Montenegro are at differing points in the journey toward EU and NATO membership, and the length of their independence varies, participants will gain insight into how the issues vary over time as well.

Classes are taught by faculty from Florida State and prominent regional European universities and meet for approximately half the day. Program excursions include tours of Dubrovnik and trips to Montenegro and Bosnia.

Eligibility
This program is open to all interested students. Students in International Affairs, Russian and East European Studies, and Political Science are particularly welcome.

Housing
Program participants will be housed in comfortable apartments and/or hotel rooms within walking distance from the old town.
