Through multi-methods research approaches, the SSRC team of senior scholars, junior scholars, and research assistants work on studying the European Union, its relationship to Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the accession of Bosnia and Herzegovina to the European Union, the composition and substantive content of governments through time, migration to, from, through, and within Bosnia and Herzegovina, policymaking at all levels of government and the actors engaged in the policymaking process, public spending through time, regional integration and regional organizations, university cooperation and universities' role in societies, and the role of youth in socio-economic and socio-political processes
