I am pleased to announce the publication of my article 'Ethical Governance in the Age of Artificial Intelligence: Challenges and Opportunities for the Western Balkans' in XVIII/2026 issue, Section 'International relations and governance', of the Annals of the University of Oradea, Series International Relations and European Studies.
The journal is an Open Access Journal focused on International Relations, published as a yearly issue under the auspices of the EuroINCLUS Research Centre at the University of Oradea, with ISSN 2067-1253 and E-ISSN 2067-3647.
The paper, published on pages 67-84, explores the ethical and political implications of Artificial Intelligence in governance, with a focus on the Western Balkans in the context of European integration and democratic transformation.
The article examines both the opportunities offered by AI – in terms of efficiency, transparency, and civic participation – and the risks related to surveillance, algorithmic bias, and reduced accountability, particularly in regions characterised by fragile institutions, ethnic diversity, and complex security challenges.
The study proposes a normative framework for ethical AI adoption, grounded in democratic values and human rights, and emphasises the importance of cross-border cooperation, civil society involvement, and harmonisation with EU standards.
