IDEA - South Eastern Europe: New Means for Regional Analysis - The Stability Pact for South Eastern Europe was launched with much fanfare in 1999, amid expectations of peaceful development, democracy, regional co-operation and prosperity. Three years on, however, where is the region in reality? International IDEA is exploring the Public Agenda of the Balkans in co-operation with the South Eastern Europe Democracy Support (SEEDS) Network, which consists of local research organizations and think tanks, applying a common research framework and methodology to assess what democracy actually delivers to people, and their perceptions of democracy as practiced on the Balkans. Initiated in 2000, the project, 'South Eastern Europe and the Stability Pact', is an important undertaking of International IDEA to facilitate and promote democratic reform agendas that are truly established by the local stakeholders, principally in civil society and research institutions.
