This draft proposal outlines a collaborative curriculum focusing on the institutional dynamics of the security environment in Eurasia. It explores the changing reality, multilateral security institutions, and the interaction of formal institutions and actor groups in Eurasia. The framework offers innovative analysis of complementarity, competition, and cooperation among security institutions. Research questions delve into evolving actor strategies, institutional architecture post-EU/NATO enlargement, and group agendas in Europe and the post-Soviet space. The course modules cover recent developments, institutional policies, and prospects for cooperation. Contributions to the project are welcome.
