The Russian and East European Institute (REEI) was established in 1958 on Indiana University's Bloomington campus. REEI administers one of the country's leading programs in Russian and East European area studies. REEI has been designated one of sixteen U.S. Department of Education-funded Title VI National Resource/FLAS Centers for Russia and Eastern Europe for the 2006-2009 grant period.
More than one hundred faculty from eighteen departments and schools are affiliated with the Institute. About 250 IU students are pursuing interdisciplinary study of the REEI region in bachelor, master of arts, professional school, or doctoral degree programs. We invite prospective students to read the letter of greeting from REEI's Director, Maria Bucur. Prospective students may also email the Institute to request materials by mail. Please include the following in your letter: name, full address, type of degree you are interested in and how you heard about the program.
The Russian and East European Institute is located in Ballantine Hall, near the center of the IU-Bloomington campus. The main office, located in Ballantine Hall 565, is open from 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. (U.S. Eastern time zone) on university business days. We invite you to take an on-line campus tour or visit us in person.
REEI is a constituent unit of the IU College of Arts and Sciences and an institutional member of the American Association for the Advancement of Slavic Studies.
This year REEI is celebrating its 50th anniversary. We invite you to view our commemorative magazine: Celebrating 50 Years 1958-2008.

The Milosevic Trial: An Autopsy |
||
 | It has been three years since the longest and most prominent war crimes trial of the modern era was brought to an abrupt halt by the defendant's death - leaving the court, the peoples of the former Yugoslavia, and the world community without a definitive legal resolution. Precisely because the trial ended without final judgment, its meaning and value are especially contested: for some, the indictment and trial of a sitting head of state reaffirmed the importance of international criminal law as a robust response to state criminality; for others, the collapse of this sprawling case proved the insufficiency of judicial responses to complex mass violence. The Indiana University Maurer School of Law, in cooperation with the Russian and East European Institute and the Center for West European Studies, propose to conduct an autopsy of the Milosevic trial - a clinical evaluation of the trial and its termination - and a biopsy of the institutional context in which the trial played out, as well as a prognosis for its legacy and impact. |
