| HISTORY AND MISSION STATEMENT |
IIPE
is one of the oldest institutes in South Eastern Europe specialised in the field of international relations.
It is our wish to acquaint the users of our services, our partners in the country and abroad with the scientific,
research, cultural and publishing activities of the Institute. Since it was established in 1947. (it was founded by the decision of the Government of the Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia), Institute of International Politics and Economics, Belgrade, has had a special place in the academic life of the country. From a small group of researchers who laid foundations of the Yugoslav science of international relations, the Institute has gradually turned into the largest scientific institution of this kind in our country and one of the most reputable research centres in the world. Up to the present day research in the fields of political, economic and law sciences have been in the core of its activities. The Institute studies the processes and phenomena in the field of international politics and economics, this also including legal aspects of international relations, which are of interest for the position and foreign policy of the state. Providing a research and documentation basis for defining the country's foreign policy priorities, for many years the Institute has assisted the authorised bodies in creating and formulating the strategic directions in establishing and developing foreign political and economic relations. In its long research practice the Institute has established close co-operation and a working partnership with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It has recruited a large number of diplomats and officials for the diplomatic and some other significant services that deal with international relations. The Institute is considerably different from the other institutes in the country for the above mentioned role in pursuing the foreign policy. The Institute has a rich research tradition, very fruitful scientific and publishing activities, possessing one of the largest specialised libraries in international relations in South Eastern Europe, including the rich official documentations of the UN, EU, NATO and some other significant international organisations. So far, the Institute has published over 400 books, monographs, proceedings and documentation papers. It also publishes 4 scientific journals: "International Problems", whose first issue was published in 1949, "Međunarodna politika" that has been published since 1950, "Review of International Affairs", which until recently was an English edition of "Međunarodna politika", but meeting the wishes of foreign readers it grew into a separate periodical dealing with international affairs, as well as "Evropsko zakonodavstvo" (European Union Legislation), a specialised scientific journal treating the European law and practice, which has started in 2002. The Institute has developed different forms of international co-operation with over 200 research, university and specialised institutions and organisations in the world. So far, it has organised over 200 domestic and international conferences. Many prominent domestic and foreign professors, researchers, statesmen, political figures, diplomats and journalists have delivered lectures or participated in other forms of the Institute's activities. In the 2000-2008 period, the scientific work has been intensified and several research, publishing and information and documentation projects have started. As a result of these efforts, a large number of studies, monographs, analyses and expertises have been completed. A great success was also the licence approved for the publication of the lexicon EUROVOC THESAURUS in Serbian. It is a multilanguage dictionary that the state administrations, scientific and educational institutions of the EU candidate countries use in their work. The publication of the EUROVOC dictionary is a major scientific, lexicographic and cultural project of national significance. Finally, it should be stressed that for years the Institute has developed good co-operation with the Ministry of Science and Technological Development of the Republic of Serbia. Year after year, the number of the research works carried out within the Ministry project No. 149002D on Serbia and the Contemporary World - Prospects and Ways for Consolidation of its Foreign Political, Security and Economic Position in the Contemporary Processes in the International Community, being a part of the programme of the basic studies in the 2006-2010 period, has been increasing. Additional efforts have been made to raise the quality of works in accordance with the scientific standards and research reputation the Institute enjoys in the country and abroad. We are convinced that in the forthcoming period the Institute's scientific results will become an integral part of the European research area. In this way, the Institute's contribution could be optimally used in conducting the foreign policy and foreign economic affairs. IIPE Management:
