Reviews

This book presents new information which is the result of recent research. The scholarship is superior. The authors have addressed almost all of the relevant topics in a discussion of democratization and integration. (Nick Miller, Boise State University)

Impressively researched, well-written, carefully documented and closely reasoned. Survival Cohen and Lampe analyze the unsteady path toward democracy in the western Balkans... In a welcome change from convention, the book is structured around thematic chapters rather than country case studies. The topics include constitutional structures, public administration, civil society, political parties, economic reform, social structure, and popular values... The book is written in a clear, accessible style... A valuable overview for advanced students, and will be required reading for any government or nongovernmental organization official venturing into the Balkans. Choice An impressive achievement that offers a valuable resource for specialists and non-specialists seeking a detailed survey of the region in the post-2000 era. It also advances a growing effort to incorporate the Western Balkans into the subfield of comparative politics and democratization literature. -- Andrew Konitzer Europe-Asia Studies
