SLAVIC THINKERS OR THE CREATION OF POLITIES

The book explores the divergent paths of Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Bulgaria towards EU membership compared to Croatia, Macedonia, and Serbia, despite their shared history under communist rule. It examines the political, economic, and social factors that influenced these outcomes, providing insights into the complexities of European integration and the challenges faced by the Balkan states. Through this analysis, the volume sheds light on the broader implications of post-communist transitions in the region.
