Politika E Zgjerimit Dhe Ndikimi I Saj N Ballkanin Per ndimor Dr Dorian Jano

The book is a comprehensive overview of the overall process of EU accession and its impact on the countries of the Western Balkans. It analyzes the distinctive dynamics of the EU Enlargement and the Europeanization in the Western Balkans. Research on EU enlargement and enlargement-led Europeanization has been theoretically built upon and empirically tested on previous candidate countries from Central Eastern Europe. Acknowledging the evolution of EU enlargement policy, the potential implications of the previous enlargement rounds as well as the differentiated context of the new potential candidate countries from the Western Balkans, it is imperative to empirically enrich and theoretically revisit EU enlargement and enlargement-led Europeanization literature. A comparative and comprehensive study, across issues and countries, is needed in order to understand EU enlargement politics and its impact in the Western Balkan region. The book gives to the Albanian-speaking audience an academic and methodological rigorous approach on the still ongoing process of EU integration of the Western Balkan countries.
