Book Description
CEPS work on South East Europe was initiated in late 1998 as the first area of intensive activity under the Wider Europe programme. A landmark proposal for a comprehensive plan for the Balkans was produced during NATO"s bombing campaign in Kosovo in Spring 1999. A network of institutes, the Europa South-East Policy Forum, was established in July 1999, later broadened and renamed the South-East Europe Policy Institutes Network (SEEPIN). CEPS has sustained its high level of activity on South East Europe through the organisation of conferences and seminars (including a conference on Montenegro at CEPS in Brussels with the participation of the President of Montenegro, Milo Djukanovich), and through numerous publications (including the monthly Europa South East Monitor.

The Economic History of Central, East and South-East Europe
Author: Matthias MorysPublisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 131741411X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 529
Book Description
The collapse of communism in Central, East and South-East Europe (CESEE) led to great hopes for the region and for Europe. A quarter of a century on, the picture is mixed: in many CESEE countries, the transformation process is incomplete, and the economic catch-up has taken longer than anticipated. The current situation has highlighted the need for a better understanding of the long-term political and economic implications of the Central, East and South-East European historical experience. This thematically organised text offers a clear and comprehensive guide to the economic history of CESEE from 1800 to the present day. Bringing together authors from both East and West, the book also draws on the cutting-edge research of a new generation of scholars from the CESEE region. Presenting a thoroughly modern overview of the history of the region, the text will be invaluable to students of economic history and CESEE area studies.

Author: Comparing Post-Socialist Media Systems
Author: Zrinjka PeruškoPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000177378
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 239
Book Description
This book explains divergent media system trajectories in the countries in southeast Europe, and challenges the presumption that the common socialist experience critically influences a common outcome in media development after democratic transformations, by showing different remote and proximate configuration of conditions that influence their contemporary shape. Applying an innovative longitudinal set-theoretical methodological approach, the book contributes to the theory of media systems with a novel theoretical framework for the comparative analysis of post-socialist media systems. This theory builds on the theory of historical institutionalism and the notion of critical junctures and path dependency in searching for an explanation for similarities or differences among media systems in the Eastern European region. Extending the understanding of media systems beyond a political journalism focus, this book is a valuable contribution to the literature on comparative media systems in the areas of media systems studies, political science, Southeast and Central European studies, post-socialist studies and communication studies.

ISBN: 9780415348010
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 152
Book Description
In recent years, organized crime has become endemic in the countries of southeast Europe giving rise to an urgent debate on what needs to be done to fight it. This collection of essays contributes directly to this debate. The discussions range over national and regional policies, the west European dimension of the phenomenon, and the less often discussed role that the media and civil society can play in the battle against organised crime. This book was previously published as a special issue of the Journal of Southeast European and Black Sea Studies.
Strategies of Symbolic Nation-building in South Eastern Europe
Author: Pål KolstøPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317049365
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 301
Book Description
After the conflagration of Tito’s Yugoslavia a medley of new and not-so-new states rose from the ashes. Some of the Yugoslav successor states have joined, or are about to enter, the European Union, while others are still struggling to define their national borders, symbols, and relationships with neighbouring states. Strategies of Symbolic Nation-building in South Eastern Europe expands upon the existing body of nationalism studies and explores how successful these nation-building strategies have been in the last two decades. Relying on new quantitative research results, the contributors offer interdisciplinary analyses of symbolic nation-building in Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro, and Serbia to show that whereas the citizens of some states have reached a consensus about the nation-building project other states remain fragmented and uncertain of when the process will end. A must-read not only for scholars of the region but policy makers and others interested in understanding the complex interplay of history, symbolic politics, and post-conflict transition.
