A better future finally beckoned for the Balkans.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLate 2020 seems high time to take stock of how that future actually unfolded.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Handa Centre for the Study of Terrorism and Political Violence (CSTPV) at the University of St Andrews is therefore proud to host an ambitious month-long series of online discussions convened by CSTPV\u2019s in-house regional expert, Kurt Bassuener.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These will gather together a unique cast of leading Balkan experts to discuss the challenges for the region: past, present and future.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe year 1995 represented a high noon for western liberal triumphalism. Twenty-five years on, though, the mood is distinctly darker.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As western democracies themselves begin to look more polarised and dysfunctional, the lessons to be learnt from the fate of the Balkans only grow in importance.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Events will be held every Tuesday at 2pm from November 10 onwards, and will be hosted on Microsoft Teams.<\/p>\n<div
