Description
The Balkans: A Post-communist History provides a comprehensive country-by-country treatment of the contemporary history of each Balkan state. By focusing on political and economic continuities and changes since the 1980s, this book offers a distinctive conceptual framework for understanding the divergent patterns of historical change in the region. Prior to the 1980s, brief overviews are provided for each state to provide context for the more recent developments. This approach shifts the emphasis away from traditional cultural explanations and concentrates on the pervasive influence of strongly entrenched vertical power-structures and power-relations. By examining these factors, students of Eastern European history can gain a deeper understanding of the complex historical changes that have shaped the Balkans since the collapse of communism.
