Stabilizing and Integrating the Balkans

More about the book

Focusing on the reconstruction and stabilization of the Balkans, the book presents a "networked approach" to Western cooperation, emphasizing the interconnectedness of internal reforms and external support. Professor Welfens evaluates the effectiveness of the Stability Pact for Southeastern Europe, identifying both successes and challenges, including donor policy inconsistencies and structural disparities among Balkan nations. The research draws from a cross-disciplinary project at the American Institute for Contemporary German Studies, highlighting implications for transatlantic relations and future cooperation efforts.
