<p>Anyone have any reccomendations regarding programs that offer strong programs regarding the Balkan region. I have a B.A (Poli Sci) and am close to receiving my M.A ( IR) and would like to now do my Ph.D in Poli Sci hopefully IR or Comparative Politics but my main area of interest is in balkan politics, culture, history etc.</p>
<p>Anyone know of any programs that focus on that part of the world?</p>

<p>Remind me please, where's your MA going to be from? Was it SAIS?</p>
<p>A few places that come up in my mind are Harvard and NYU. I'd say email some profs at various departments and ask them to list a few places. Any of the top 10-15 departments should be okay.</p>
<p>University College London has a school which specialises in your interest area. It is called SSEES (School of Slavonic and East European Studies) and until a few years ago was an independent institution until it merged with UCL. It has the biggest library dealing with the area in the world. Plus you can also use all that UCL has to offer, which is a lot.</p>
