The SIT Study Abroad program in the Balkans examines peacebuilding, post-conflict transformation, and the impact of international intervention on state formation, human rights, and transitional justice in the comparative context of Southeast Europe.

The program explores 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 regional post-conflict transformation.

Students can choose between two different tracks for their independent study month:

• Research Track: conduct field research and produce a substantial academic paper;
• Internship Track: engage in an internship that will allow them gaining work experience
  and professional and intercultural skills at a local organization.
