INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR INSTITUTIONAL STUDIES in partnership with University of Birmingham, UK, Harvard Black Sea Security Program, Harvard University, USA, European Security Journal, Routledge and financial support of Jean Monnet Program, European Commission invite you to take part in 2012 Jean Monnet International Seminar "Ukraine-EU Cooperation in Crisis Management and Disaster Risk Reduction: Sharing Best Practices, Building Effective Capabilities"..
Cooperation in crisis management and disaster risk reduction (natural, man-made disasters, terrorism, conflict and conflict-related emergencies) is a priority and thematic platform of the Eastern Partnership and an important sphere of cooperation between Ukraine and the EU within the Ukraine-EU Action Plan, but it is an almost completely neglected topic in the academic cur-ricula on EU/European integration/security studies in Ukraine and other countries of the Eastern Partnership. Similarly, very little research has been carried out on diplomatic and politi-cal/institutional aspects of this subject, which further diminishes the prospects of high-quality modules and courses and effective education and training of current and future academics and professionals working in this area.

By organising a workshop bringing together national and inter-national experts from a variety of professional backgrounds with young scholars and advanced postgraduate students and publishing the proceedings of the event, a contribution will be made to improving the breadth and depth of higher education provision in the area, a Ukraine-based sub-ject-specific expert network will be established and consolidated, and interaction between profes-sionals in the area with academics will be enhanced to enable better-informed, evidence-based practice of effective and efficient crisis management and disaster risk reduction in Ukraine, the Eastern Neighbourhood and the EU.
The programme will be divided into 5 modules:
Module 1. Crisis Management of the European Union - Prof. Stefan Wolff, University of Birmingham, UK
Module 2. Organizational Overlap and Crisis Management - Dr. David Galbreath, University of Bath, UK
Module 3 . Cooperative Mechanisms for Nuclear Counterterrorism in the Wider Black Sea Region - Dr. Sergei Konoplyov, Harvard University, USA
Module 4. Sociology of conflicts, crises and catastrophes - Prof. Anton Oleinik, Memorial University, Canada
Module 5. The Early Warning and Crisis Prevention Mechanisms - Prof. Tetyana Malyarenko, Donetsk State University of Management
