Summary
With both transition dynamics and the EU integration process having shifted to the south-east of Europe, a region fairly marginalized in the literature, this book fills a gap by taking stock of where South-East Europe's economies and institutions stood in 2004. The authors evaluate the potential for investment and growth within the South-East European region, including the role of trade and FDI, and discuss the challenges associated with unemployment, poverty and "brain drain". The book also provides insights into the particular monetary and exchange rate policies applied, including cases of "euroization", and finally makes an assessment, against this background, of the European perspective of the countries of South-East Europe.
