SIT Study Abroad Serbia, Bosnia, and Kosovo: Peace and Conflict Studies in the Balkans program engages students interested in peace and conflict studies, history, international relations, and political science with the ongoing efforts of peacebuilding and reconciliation in the Balkans. Students examine the origins of the conflicts in the Balkans, from the breakup of Yugoslavia to the violent wars of the 1990s, as well as current challenges and opportunities in post-conflict transformation. The program provides an excellent platform from which to examine processes in the Balkans through a focus on social memory studies, transitional justice, and international intervention.
