The main focus of the project was to improve the capacity of civil society organizations in the Western Balkans region to effectively map and monitor security sector governance and to encourage security sector reform, both on the national level, and through a cooperation network on the regional level. Preferential Trading Agreements and Economic Reforms in Developing Countries, IMO Occasional Papers 1/2012 In this policy paper the authors Leonardo Baccini from Princeton University and Johannes Urpelainen from Columbia University, USA examine how leaders use preferential trading agreements (PTAa) with European Union and the United States to promote liberal economic policies. They argue that under democratization, new leaders would benefit the most from credible commitment and side payments to compensate vulnerable domestic constituencies for their losses. Their empirical analysis, which includes also Croatia, shows that under democratization, leader change greatly increases the probability that the government of a country begins treaty negotiations. The analysis also demonstrates that PTAs induce liberalization in different sectors of the economy.

Challenges of Integrating Asylum Migrants in Croatia This policy brief analyzes asylum politics in Croatia, both at the level of practice and at the level of legal and normative standards. The goal is to examine the issue of asylum migration, highlight key problems in the process of integrating asylees in the Croatian society and offer policy recommendations. This analysis indicates the need for increasing public awareness about asylum and fostering accountability of political elites to address these issues with responsibility and care. The upcoming membership in the European Union will bring additional challenges, including those related to migration and asylum. Is Croatia prepared? The debate on asylum in Croatia is at the initial stage, the argument this paper uses to underline the importance and benefits of early action. This policy brief was produced within the framework of the TRAIN Programme organized by the German Council on Foreign Relations (DGAP) in 2011.

It combines the results of the survey analysis with official data on the amount of grants contracted by the counties as well as other actors until 31st December 2010. The results have confirmed the important role played by the county institutions in attracting EU funds. Not only that they have actively participated with their own projects, but they have been strongly involved in supporting the applications of other local actors. Results have also confirmed that establishing of county development agencies meant a very strong incentive for faster development of the overall absorption capacities at the regional level. However, significant regional differences with respect to the level of capacity are much present. Around three quarters of total funds have been contracted by one quarter of counties. Study has also identified most important needs for the future capacity building of county institutions with respect to absorption of EU funds. The study is available for download in Croatian only.

Zagreb: Lider press d.d : Institut za međunarodne odnose (IMO), 2010. NATO's New Strategic Concept – Challenges and Perspectives NATO's New Strategic Concept – Challenges and Perspectives Zagreb, 3 December 2010 Hotel Dubrovnik This project was funded, in part, through a grant from the U.S. Embassy Zagreb. The opinions, findings and conclusions or recommendations expressed herein are those of the Author(s) and do not necessarily reflect those of the Department of State. NATO has undoubtedly been the most successful political-military alliance in recent history. Despite the fact that it managed to adjust to challenges of the international relations in the post-Cold War period, it is obvious that it is currently facing serious ones that require a new, if possible common, approach. All this brings us to the conclusion that NATO needs new strategic guidelines that would contribute to its functionality and visibility at the global scale. Given the changed environment and existing challenges to security of wider euroatlantic region, it is obvious that NATO’s New Strategic Concept is being developed in difficult circumstances.

Informacijski izvori iz međunarodnih odnosa i međunarodna integracija Hrvatske Informacijski izvori iz međunarodnih odnosa i međunarodna integracija Hrvatske / Snježana Ivanović. - Zagreb: IMO, 2012. - Cijena knjige: 90,00 kn Svrha ove knjige jest istaknuti potrebu za dobrim informacijskim izvorima iz područja Međunarodnih odnosa te uzeti u obzir ne samo povijesnu ulogu knjižnica u odabiranju, vrednovanju, organiziranju i prezentiranju tih izvora već i njihov značaj za izgradnju informacijskog društva. Samo dobro informiran građanin može donositi valjane odluke. Tako se javila zamisao da se i korisnicima u Hrvatskoj omogući da s jednoga mjesta dođu do većine potrebnih relevantnih informacija koje se odnose na to opsežno znanstveno područje, prije svega na njegove političke aspekte. Takav pristup digitalnim informacijskim izvorima na Internetu moguć je jedino izradom vertikalnog portala (vortala), stoga se knjiga usredotočuje na eventualni projekt izrade vortala međunarodnih odnosa unutar knjižnice Instituta za međunarodne odnose iz Zagreba.
