Klappentext zu „Stabilizing and Integrating the Balkans “
There is a complex challenge of economic recovery and reconstruction given long-term economic deterioration and war-relateddestruction in the Balkans. The Balkan Stability Pact stands for a networked approach of international organizations to deal with these problems. The analysis critically looks into strategies, actors, and preliminary results. There are shortcomings and inconsistencies and there is some potential for transatlantic conflicts over the issue of burden sharing. There is also a risk of EU imperial overstretch facing eastern and south-eastern EU enlargement.
