The lecture was delivered by professor Thomas Christiansen from the University of Maastricht and it was held within the ERASMUS project „LISBOAN“ where IMO participates as a project partner. It was emphasised that the Lisbon Treaty empowered the National Parliaments of the EU member states within the EU governance because the Treaty granted them greater possibility of oversight over the EU legislative process. However, the National Parliaments should horizontally cooperate among themselves in order to efficiently respond to the legislative proposals that are being drafted by the European Commission. - 170 reads - Hrvatski Visit of the President of the Republic of Croatia The President of the Republic of Croatia visited the Institute for International Relations - IMO on March 27, 2012 Croatian President Ivo Josipović visited the Institute for International Relations on March 27th 2012.

FP7 project "ANVIL - Analysis of Civil Security Systems in Europe" IMO participates in the recently approved FP7 project "ANVIL - Analysis of Civil Security Systems in Europe". The project is coordinated by the Research Management AS (RESMAN) from Norway and apart of IMO it includes ten European universities and research centres. The project aims to assess the quality of the civil security systems in Europe, both at the level of individual countries and regional security architectures. It seeks to establish a comprehensive and coherent methodology for analyzing civil security systems by relying on the fields of crisis management (effectiveness of the system), public administration science (efficiency of the system) and political science (legitimacy of the system) that should result in appropriate indicators for studying civil security systems. Project „The Economic Crisis Impact on Industrial Relations National Systems: Policy Responses as Key Recovery Tools“ Institute for International Relations (IMO) is a partner at the project „The Economic Crisis Impact on Industrial Relations National Systems: Policy Responses as Key Recovery Tools”. The aim of this project coordinated by the Center for Economic Development (CED) in Sofia is to make an analytical snapshot of the current development of the existent industrial relations practices in 3 new member states and 3 candidate countries so as to develop immediate policy recommendation on how to improve national expertise in the field. The project activities are designed to boost the national policy debate between parties actively involved in industrial relations in order to promote active exchange of information and experience among them. - 247 reads - Hrvatski 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.
