Europe’s Troubled Region: Economic Development, Institutional Reform and Social Welfare in the Western Balkans,
نویسنده
چکیده
U europskoj je javnosti Zapadni Balkan (zemlje bivše Jugoslavije bez Slovenije plus Albanija) ponajviše poznat po svojoj političkoj nestabilnosti, oružanim sukobima i građanskim ratovima, dok se o regiji vrlo malo govori s aspekta dosega reformi koje su provedene u ekonomskom i društvenom sustavu, kao i s aspekta dinamičnog tranzicijskog procesa i razvoja koji su zemlje postigle u posljednja dva desetljeća. Danas zemlje Zapadnog Balkana više toliko ne zaostaju za drugim zemljama istočne i središnje Europe koje su se već priključile Europskoj uniji, ali iako su ostvarene brze stope gospodarskog rasta, i dalje su prisutni mnogi ozbiljni problemi poput visokih stopa nezaposlenosti, sive ekonomije, nejednakosti i siromaštva. Knjiga britanskog znanstvenika Williama Bartletta “Europe’s troubled region: Economic development, institutional reform and social welfare in the Western Balkans” objavljena u izdanju Routledga početkom 2008. godine, upravo analizira ekonomski razvoj, institucionalne reforme i razinu socijalnog blagostanja na području Zapadnog Balkana. U knjizi se pored toga analizira uloga i značaj potpora Europske unije; te započeti procesi pristupanja EU koji su u značajnoj mjeri katalizator institucionalnih i gospodarskih reformi. Također se razmatraju i ukupne međunarodne novčane potpore toj regiji. Temeljna pitanja na koje autor u knjizi nastoji odgovoriti su sljedeća: Zbog čega se zemlje zapadnog Balkana unatoč sličnim početnim uvjetima nalaze na toliko različitim stupnjevima gospodarskog razvoja, kakva budućnost očekuje regiju te kakvi su realistični izgledi za njezino priključenje EU?
