Themes Of Ari Rusila

Themes of Ari Rusila is my site for minicourses and lectures of some special issues related to crisis management and covered in Ari Rusila’s BalkanBlog.

Theme site includes also some of my key lectures, statements or articles published elsewhere. As said for time being this site is under construction, how long, remains to see.
