Republic of Macedonia Foreign Policy: Diplomacy in the Middle of the Balkans

"The Republic of Macedonia is a particularly interesting case-study for analysts of international relations. Its very existence has been contested by its neighbors; its internal balance is delicate. Potentially, the country could, however, become a model of stability in a traditionally conflictual region. Dejan Marolov presents an encompassing, in-depth analysis of the country's foreign policy since the break-up of Yugoslavia. He examines relations with neighboring countries, as well as Macedonia's still incomplete integration into a transatlantic and European framework. Everybody interested in the international relations of the Western Balkans should read Marolov's book." — Dr. Matthias Waechter, European Institute, Nice, France, and Dr. Tugce Varol Sevim, Aydin University, Istanbul, Turkey
