At the Crossroads of Multipolarization: The Western Balkans in a Fragmented Global Order

This conference aims to explore the complex implications of global multipolarity for the Balkan region. As global power becomes increasingly diffused across multiple centers - including the United States, European Union, China, Russia, Türkiye, and others - the Western Balkans find themselves navigating a competitive geopolitical space. The conference seeks to examine how multipolarity influences regional diplomacy, foreign policy alignment, governance, security, identity politics, and economic development.
