However, the security situation in the WBSA remains complex, as deep-rooted security in the region constitute major challenge to establishing the basic phase of a security community and facilitating genuine regional integration. This panel will seek to discuss the causes and consequences of the BSEC cooperation as well as the priorities for the member states participating in regional cooperation and other stakeholders in order to more deeply comprehend the nature of their intergovernmental cooperation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Should you have any relevant questions, please email Dr. Hajizada at <a href=\"mailto:mukhtar.hajizada@carleton.ca\">mukhtar.hajizada@carleton.ca<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\" src=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/eurus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/186\/bsec-400x267.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10784\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/eurus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/186\/bsec-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/eurus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/186\/bsec-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/eurus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/186\/bsec-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/eurus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/186\/bsec-160x107.jpg 160w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/eurus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/186\/bsec-240x160.jpg 240w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/eurus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/186\/bsec-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/eurus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/186\/bsec-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/eurus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/186\/bsec.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Indicative programme<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>14:00&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/em><strong>Check-in <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>14:15&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/em><strong>Opening Remarks<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dr. Mukhtar Hajizada<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Adjunct Research Professor, Institute of European, Russian and Eurasian Studies, Carleton University<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Prof. Jeff Sahadeo<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Director, Institute of European, Russian and Eurasian Studies (EURUS), Carleton University<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mr. Andrew Turner<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Deputy Director, Eastern Europe and Eurasia Division, Global Affairs Canada <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>H.E.
