history
Shortly after Belarus gained independence, the institute was founded in Minsk in 1992 by the professor of sociology Oleg Manaev . In April 2005 it was closed by the authorities due to administrative violations. The IISEPS sees this as a political measure to prevent the work of the institute. In response, the institute has reopened in Vilnius , Lithuania and continues its work there.
