Taking a two-pronged conceptual approach focusing on fragmentation and integration, the volume highlights commonalities and differences in a number of simultaneous dynamics currently characterizing the region: Europeanization and EU access, market integration, and migration and socio-demographic transformations. Stressing the interconnectedness of these issues, the volume synthesizes key questions for the future of the region, such as the relationship between socio-demographic trends and economic development, the effects of depopulation on further EU integration, and the economic and political repercussions of enhanced intra-regional trade. Explicitly interdisciplinary, this Brief will be useful for researchers and students specializing in the Balkans and Western Balkans, post-socialist countries, European affairs, enlargement, foreign policy, international relations, regional studies, economics, economic transition, and socio-demographics. 001445227 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed March 30, 2022). 001445227 651_0 $$aBalkan Peninsula$$xPolitics and government$$y1989- 001445227 651_0 $$aBalkan Peninsula$$xHistory$$y1989- 001445227 651_6 $$aBalkans$$xPolitique et gouvernement$$y1989- 001445227 651_6 $$aBalkans$$xHistoire$$y1989- 001445227 655_7 $$aHistory.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01411628 001445227 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001445227 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z3030896277$$z9783030896270$$w(OCoLC)1269201136 001445227 830_0 $$aSpringerBriefs in political science. 001445227 852__ $$bebk 001445227 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-89628-7$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001445227 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1445227$$pGLOBAL_SET 001445227 980__ $$aBIB 001445227 980__ $$aEBOOK 001445227 982__ $$aEbook 001445227 983__ $$aOnline 001445227 994__ $$a92$$bISE
