Civil Society and Policy Making in the Visegrad Group Countries: Lessons for the Western Balkans
Think for Europe/byCivil society organisations (CSOs) of the Western Balkans (WB6) are relatively young compared to their counterparts from Visegrad countries (V4).

Think for Europe/byA comprehensive analysis of the EC’s country reports has been lacking on the regional level. There have been efforts by CSOs at country level to provide a systematic input to the annual country reports and to the strategy through the so-called “shadow reports”, primarily intended to provide objective assessment of the accession process by the […]
Performance Audit and Policy Evaluation in the Western Balkans: On the Same or Parallel Tracks?
Think for Europe/byFrom a conceptual perspective, performance audit and policy evaluation are very close fields, with highly converging goals, methods and tools. At the same time, in the Western Balkans these two fields have been evolving without connection and reference to each other. How can the two processes be brought closer together in the three studied WB […]
