'LSEE' (LSE Research on South East Europe) is a research unit established within LSE's European Institute with the aim of developing the School's expertise on South East Europe. Drawing on the strength of existing and new academic expertise at the LSE, and complementing the work of the Hellenic Observatory and the Contemporary Turkish Studies Programme, LSEE aims to provide a significant platform on which to build high quality, independent research and facilitate public dialogue and dissemination of information on the region. LSEE will provide a forum for research collaboration not only within the LSE and the UK, but also with external partners in South East Europe and beyond. Under this aegis, LSEE will organise a series of public events related to its research - lectures, seminars, workshops and conferences – both at the LSE and in the region.
LSEE was officially launched at the start of the 2009-10 academic year by Professor Kevin Featherstone, Professor Sevket Pamuk, Dr Spyros Economides, and Dr Vassilis Monastiriotis. Two new appointees are Dr James Ker-Lindsay (Eurobank EFG Senior Fellow on the Politics of SE Europe) and Dr William Bartlett (Senior Research Fellow on the Political Economy of South East Europe). It also has two dedicated administrators: Ismini Demades and Ivan Kovanovic. Alongside these staff members, LSEE collaborates with colleagues from other departments within the School with an interest in the region, including: Professor Willem Buiter (CEP); Professor Mary Kaldor (Development Institute); Dr Svetozar Rajak (IDEAS; Cold War Studies Centre); Dr Vesna Bojicic-Dzelilovic (Centre for the Study of Global Governance); Dr Denisa Kostovicova (Department of Government).
