Developing and 'transition' economies face myriad challenges in
their attempts to achieve and maintain political stability and
foster the economic growth essential for national security, the
social well-being of current citizens and sustainable environments
for future generations. Governments in the Western Balkans have
striven to achieve all of the above, and this volume assesses the
nature of their experiences as well as the level of their success
in doing so. Featuring detailed case studies of public policy
reforms in the region as well as comparative analysis on a range of
indicators, the book analyzes the role of key players in setting
the political agenda as well as implementing policy reforms. It
also distils the lessons that can be learned from the Western
Balkan experience, recommending strategies for enhancing the policy
making process. In addition, it examines the developmental role
played by the full spectrum of policy actors, including the private
sector, NGOs, special interest groupings, international financial
institutions, donor nations and the EU. Each case study has been
prepared by academics with deep knowledge and experience of the
western Balkans and addresses a core set of questions: identifying
the policy issue and its broader context, defining the roles of
specific individuals in formulating policy and reform and assessing
the influence of networks and coalitions in the policy making
process. With so little detailed literature on public policy making
in a group of nations strategically positioned between Europe,
Russia and the near East, the detailed insights provided by this
volume will be widely welcomed. Our book provides case studies of
specific public policy reform episodes in selected Western Balkan
post-conflict and transition countries. The focus of these case
studies extends beyond the technical aspects and entails
substantive examination of the policy actors, constituencies and
politics that ultimately shape the policy that emerges from the
policy making process. This analysis draws lessons for
strengthening the quality of policies, the transparency,
consistency, and governance of the policy making process and
ultimately for contributing to economic and social development of
the region.
