SUMMARY:Minorities Under Siege? Plural Societies Facing Plural Challenges
DESCRIPTION:The 2026 IPSA Research Committees Colloquium explores the rising pressures on minority identities\, rights\, and cultures worldwide. Among the participants\, Luisa Chiodi\, director of OBC Transeuropa \nThe event is organized by IPSA RC14 Politics and Ethnicity in collaboration with RC13 Democratization in Comparative Perspective\, RC23 Elections\, Citizens and Parties\, RC28 Comparative Federalism and Multilevel Governance\, RC43 Religion and Politics\, and RC44 Security\, Conflict and Democratization. \nThe colloquium will address the complex and evolving challenges faced by minority communities in contemporary states. The concept of being “under siege” serves as a lens to examine systemic threats\, vulnerabilities\, and pressures in an increasingly volatile global context. \n24th June – 17.15-19.15 On PLENARY – Roundtable: “Challenges and Future of Minority Rights” \nSince the turn of the century\, the once favorable environment for minority protection has progressively eroded\, as global socio-economic transformations\, environmental and health crises\, and the rise of populist and re-nationalizing agendas have reshaped political priorities around sovereignty and majoritarian interests. Intensifying armed conflicts\, alongside heightened concerns over borders and security\, have further exacerbated distrust toward minorities and complicated their protection. This roundtable critically examines the resulting weakening of the minority rights paradigm. Bringing together interdisciplinary scholars\, it reflects on conceptual\, empirical\, and normative challenges facing minority protection today. It interrogates the meaning of “minority” in superdiverse and mobile societies\, and explores alternative foundations for inclusive political communities. Empirically\, it assesses the limits of existing standards amid geopolitical conflict\, inequality\, climate change\, and security-driven governance\, questioning their emancipatory potential. Looking forward\, the discussion aims to advance innovative research and reimagine minority rights in an increasingly volatile global context. \nModerator: Günther Rautz\, Eurac Research \nParticipants:\nFrancesco Palermo\, Eurac Research\,\nElisabeth Craig\, University of Sussex\,\nJussi Laine\, University of Eastern Finland\,\nLuisa Chiodi\, Osservatorio Balcani Caucaso Transeuropa \nThe final program of the 2026 IPSA Research Committees Colloquium. is coming soon. \nINFO: \nIPSA – International Political Science Association

SUMMARY:Webinar: Gradual integration into the EU: Pathways for Western Balkans vis-à-vis the Eastern Trio countries
DESCRIPTION:The EU enlargement process has entered a new re-energizing phase\, after years of stalled political momentum. The shift of the Union’s geopolitical priorities\, in the aftermath of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine\, has reshaped EU accession\, turning it into a strategic instrument. \nIn 2022\, the European Council endorsed the gradual integration approach towards the Western Balkans\, later on extended also to the Eastern Trio countries\, making it a central pillar of the current enlargement strategy. On the one hand\, gradual integration injects dynamism into the process and allows the candidate countries to reap the benefits of the EU Single Market prior to full membership. On the other\, its operationalisation relies on disparate legal frameworks – such as the Stabilisation and Association Agreements for the Western Balkan countries or the Association Agreements\, including Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Areas for Ukraine and Moldova – that have been negotiated at different moments in time and with different purposes. \nIn this context of uncharted waters\, the webinar aims to compare and contrast similarities and differences between the existing legal frameworks in place for candidate countries and analyse their legal pathways to facilitate gradual integration. Moreover\, it seeks to contextualize enlargement in the wider future financial perspective of the EU\, with a particular focus on the next MFF and cohesion policy. \n  \nPanelists: \nFederico Paolini\, Desk officer\, Office II at Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation \nSokol Zeneli\, Director of research and programmes at Re-ACT Lab \nRaffaella Coletti\, Senior researcher at CNR Issirfa \nGiorgio Zecca\, Team leader – Western Balkans regional cooperation at European Commission \nModerator: Gentiola Madhi\, Researcher at OBCT \n\nThe event will be held in English \nRegistration form\n\nThis event is organized as part of the project “InteGraLe – Western Balkans vi-à-vis the Trio: single market\, cohesion and regional policy for gradual integration into the EU.” The project is supported by the Analysis\, Programming\, Statistics\, and Historical Documentation Unit – Directorate General for Political Affairs and International Security of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation\, pursuant to Article 23-bis of Presidential Decree 18/1967.
