This edited book will examine the Balkans and Eastern Mediterranean
from multidimensional geo-strategic, political-economic,
socio-cultural/religious and demographic perspectives. It
analyzes the conflicting geopolitical interests of the major and
regional powers, as well as those of NATO and the European Union,
with a focus on energy, democracy and corruption, shifts in
population, as well as religious political influence. The authors
argue that the US, NATO and EU leaderships can no longer afford to
ignore the two regions — if the increasing potential for conflict
is to be averted. The Balkans and Eastern Mediterranean are
returning to a major position in the contemporary geostrategic
nexus since NATO began a new expansion into the Balkans by bringing
Montenegro in 2017 and North Macedonia in March 2020 into
membership, after its previous expansion to Slovenia in NATO’s
“Big Bang” in 2004 and to both Albania and Croatia in 2009.
