BELARUS RESEARCH NETWORK ON NEIGHBORHOOD POLICY

ABOUT US

Since the belligerent occupation of Belarus in February 2022, which coincided with onset of the war in neighboring Ukraine, the question of how to support the civil society of Belarus and ensure the return of the country to a sovereign, democratic status is ever-more pertinent.

The Belarus Research Network on Neighborhood Policy aims to:

Produce facts-based debate on relevant topics for the development and understanding of Belarus;

Inform local and regional policymakers on key policy issues of importance to Belarus;

Inform a wider audience about the developments in Belarus and ensure that a democratic Belarus remains one of the priorities on the regional agenda;

Establish a network of experts on Belarus across the Nordic and Baltic countries.

This project has been organized by a consortium of three partners from Latvia (the Latvian Institute of International Affairs), Denmark (the Danish Foreign Policy Society) and Lithuania (the Center for Belarus and Regional Studies at the European Humanities University).
