Transformation and European Integration: The Local Dimension

This book is about the local dimension of transformation in the framework of European integration. The Balkan countries have acquired particular importance since the 1990s due to the international spillover of their transformation and domestic destabilization. The book outlines the path of the Balkans to European integration, highlighting the important role that local development issues can play. In this respect the experience of these countries can supply useful insights and ideas for pursuing development and internal integration in destabilized and ethnically complex and conflicting areas.
