Violence, Political Turbulence and Economic Development in the Balkans

Rumen Gechev

Development, 2004, vol. 47, issue 1, 81-87

Abstract: Ruman Gechev argues that the Balkans have been one of the most dynamic regions of political developments in Europe. The intensely multicultural region stands at the crossroads of the world's major religions, cultures and economic systems. The resulting clash has led to a level of violence since 1992 that Gechev argues has been exacerbated by outside interventions and misplaced economic and political policies by what he calls the great powers of the US, EU and the UN. Nevertheless, he sees the solution in an integration of the region into the EU with the promise of peace underscored by economic integration and political cooperation.
