Elena B. Stavrevska

Elena B. Stavrevska is a PhD Candidate at the CEU Department of International Relations and European Studies, where she also obtained her M.A. degree with a final thesis entitled "EU Intelligence-Sharing: The British Quid Pro Quo?". Her current research focuses on critical local agency and its interaction with the liberal peace idea in post-conflict societies, analyzing the cases of Bosnia-Herzegovina and Kosovo. The project is supervised by Professor Michael Merlingen and Professor John Shattuck.

Elena is currently a researcher, as part of the CEU team, within the framework of the the EU-funded project Cultures of Governance and Conflict Resolution in Europe and India (CORE) that brings together ten research and academic institutions from across Europe and India. The launch of the project was in January 2011 and it will be concluded in December 2013.

In addition, in 2009-2010, Elena was a fellow of the Study Program on European Security (SPES), a program ran by the Institut für Europäische Politik (IEP) in Berlin and funded by the Volkswagen Foundation. Her SPES project, "What Happens After the Mandate Completion: Evaluating Outcome Sustainability of ESDP Police Missions in the Balkans," looked at the completed police mission mandates in Macedonia and Bosnia-Herzegovina, and the sustainability of police reforms beyond the mandate completion.
