Kosovo-EU relations in an age of violent extremism Kosovo -EU relations in an age of violent extremism - Research -EU relations in an age of violent extremism Radikalisering som kan utvecklas till våldsbejakande extremism är ett allvarligt hot mot säkerheten i Europa. Under senare år har media rapporteringen varit att Kosovo har en särskild utmaning vad gäller denna fråga. Under 2016 har internationella media framställt Kosovo som en inkubator för Islamistisk extremism och en kanal för rekrytering av jihadister sedan det blev känt att mer än 250 Kosovo medborgare har deltagit i kriget i Irak och Syrien. Trots regeringens senaste ansträngningar, har Kosovos relativt svaga kapacitet i kombination med flyktingkrisen där Balkan regionen blivit genomfart för människosmugglare, sannolikt lett till att rädslan för radikalisering i länder som Kosovo ökat i Europa.

Detta projekt är utformat i ljuset av den vidare frågan om hur relationerna mellan Kosovo och EU kan påverkas negativt av radikalisering och hotet om våldsbejakande extremism.

Radicalisation into violent extremism is a serious threat to the European security. From the last couple of years’ media reporting it would seem that Kosovo faces a particular challenge. In 2016, international media named Kosovo a font of Islamic extremism and a pipeline for jihadist's after it became known that over 250 Kosovo citizens had gone to fight in Iraq and Syria. Despite recent government efforts, Kosovo’s relatively weak capacities combined with the refugee crisis and the Balkan region being one of the preferred routes for people smugglers have only served to increase European fears.

This project is formulated within this larger context of Kosovo-EU relations and will address the impact of reported phenomena of radicalisation into violent extremism on Kosovo-EU relations. Projektet/Studien är evidensbaserad forskning kring effekterna av radikalisering och våldsbejakande extremism i Kosovo och dess konskevenser för relationerna EU-Kosovo.

The Project/study is evidence based research on the effects of increased radicalization and violent extremism phenomena in Kosovo and its implications of EU-Kosovo relations.
BBE ISET Georgien, SP BAE ISET Georgia, SP The BAE (Bilateral Associate Expert) program was initiated by Sida in 1985, as a complement to the multilateral/UN program, JPO (Junior Professional Officer). The objective of the BAE program is to provide technical assistance to and strengthen capacity of the receiving organization through a young expert. A BAE is a young professional below the age of 33, who holds a university degree and has at least two years of relevant, paid, work experience. In the recruitment process, Sida and the receiving organization look for young professionals with knowledge and skills relevant for the organization, as well as the potential and willingness to learn and grow during the assignment. BAE:s are mainly placed within a cooperating partner organization in the global south, be it local/international NGO:s, public agencies, ministries, etc. working with international development, such as International Planned Parenthood Foundation, Saferworld, Slum Dwellers International, Western Indian Ocean Marine Science Association, Agence de l'Environnement et du Développement Durable in Mali, etc. The receiving organization drafts the ToR and is highly involved in the recruitment process, in order to ensure local ownership. Before deployment, all BAE:s undergo a one week onboarding in Sweden, to prepare for their missions. The BAE contract is for maximum three years and before starting the third year, a BAE may relocate to an Embassy working with international development. Sidas BBE-program syftar till att bredda och utveckla den svenska resursbasen för internationellt utvecklingsarbete. Denna insats gäller en BBE-placering vid International School of Economics at Tbilisis State University (ISET) och kommer att genomföras i enlighet med framtagen Job Description. Beslut och kontrakt gäller initialt två år men kan komma att förlängas med ett tredje år. Inför år tre finns en möjlighet att byta placering, till exempel till någon av Sveriges ambassader, för att därigenom öka lärandet för BBE.

ISET Policy Institute (ISET-PI) är en ledande tankesmedja i Georgien och södra Kaukasus inom ekonomi. 
The Energy and Environmental Policy Research Center (EEPRC) bildades 2014 och är ett av fem forskningscenter vid ISET-PI. Centret bidrar med råd och konsekvensanalyser i samband med att Georgiens regering arbetar med att harmonisera landets lagstiftning med EU:s. I takt med att energi- och miljölagstiftningen fortsätter att harmonseras, väntas behovet av EEPRC:s rådgivning öka. BBE vid EEPRC kommer att bidra till detta arbete, såväl genom extern kommunikation som genom att producera akademiska texter, mm.
