We present a research results report of the Belarusan organized civil society’s solidarity potential.

From the beginning of the year, Belarus has been visited by so many formal and informal European guests, to name politicians, diplomats, government officials, experts, representatives of international organizations, that the enumeration of names and positions will take more than one page. However, the effect of this diplomatic pilgrimage vanishes.

The Centre for European Transformation has prepared a working paper on civil society’s role and place in the system of external assistance to Belarus in 2006-2012.

Andrei Yahorau, Director the Centre for European Transformation, has prepared a analytical document “Media constructivism and social significance: how do Belarusan media create senses?”

It is perfectly obvious today. Russia has lost all the wars it has waged this year; there are several of them — in different areas and at different levels.

On May 29, 2014, the leaders of Belarus, Kazakhstan and Russia signed an agreement on the establishment of the Eurasian Economic Union. It seems to be a significant event, but the story of integration initiatives in the post-Soviet space is so messy that it’s not easy to understand the how and why of things. Though, in the case our unchallenged helmsman has “entered” Belarus in this new interstate association, it wouldn’t be bad to understand what has this action meant and what it has threatened with our country and all of us, as well.

The Centre for European Transformation has prepared a policy brief with the analysis of the current situation in the EU-Belarus relations.

Bring to your attention an article Director of the Centre for European Transformation Andrei Yahorau which was published in an annual integral analysis of the essential spheres of the state and society Belarusan Yearbook 2013. Electronic version of article was first published on the website of Belarus’ expert community Nashe Mneniye (Our opinion).

Political Sphere Institute of Political Studies, supported by Centre for European Transformation, conducted a study of the relations between Belarus and the countries of the Eastern Partnership in 1992-2012.

If we take a look from our post-Soviet region, the purposes of Russia’s intervention in Ukraine seem obvious, terrible in their essence, but clear enough. As a matter of fact, Russia has never abandoned its revanchist ambitions, its dream of restoring the Empire, and its nostalgia for the USSR. These moods have always been present in the foreign policy and official discourse of Russian power.
