According to one source:
- The European Center-Atlanta is an inititiative of the Institute for East West Studies, a non-profit, non-governmental organization formed to assist the process of post-communist transformation in the evoloving nations of Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. IEWS European Center-Atlanta's mission is to match educational and business interests in the southern United States with new opportunities in Eastern Europe. IEWS has offices in New York, Atlanta, Prague, Budapest, Warsaw and the Hague.
The Institute apparently engages in research work. A book titled Subregional Cooperation in the New Europe:Building Security, Prosperity and Solidarity from the Barents to the Black Sea, by Andrew Cottey is said to be based on research at the Institute:
- Based on a major international research project undertaken by The Institute for East West Studies, this book provides the first comprehensive analysis of an important, but little explored, feature of post-Cold War Europe: the emergence of subregional cooperation in areas such as the Barents, the Baltic Sea, Central Europe and the Black Sea. It analyses the role of subregional cooperation in the new Europe, provides detailed case studies of the new subregional groups and examines their relations with NATO and the European Union. [4]
