Embracing Democracy in the Western Balkans offers a comparative, cross-regional study of the politics and economics of Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Kosovo, and Albania from 1999 to the present. It was during this period that the first wave of post-communist regime transition ended and the region became more deeply involved in the challenges of democratic consolidation.

Lenard J. Cohen and John R. Lampe explore the legacies of communist rule, the impact of incentives and impediments on reform, and the magnetic pull of European Union accession. The authors ask whether the Western Balkans are embracing democracy by creating functional, resilient institutions—governmental, administrative, journalistic, and economic—and fostering popular trust in the legitimacy of those institutions.

Reviews

Impressively researched, well-written, carefully documented and closely reasoned.

— Survival

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

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
