The economies of the European countries are still in recession, the
development process is at a standstill, companies are facing
financial difficulties, and the EU's monetary policy is tight and
focused on lowering inflation. The fiscal problems and high debt
levels of the northern European countries are of great importance,
and they are the consequences of both the European economy's
structural characteristics and the EU's policies. The economic area
of Eastern Europe, the Balkans and the Black Sea countries is also
vital, due to its special economic characteristics. The effects of
the economic crisis on this particular area are catalytic, while
the prospects for recovery are doubtful. The present book deals
with the key aspects of the economic crisis in Europe, especially
focusing on southeast Europe and the Balkans. The consequences of
the crisis in these countries are analyzed and suggestions for how
to address the crisis are outlined.

This volume sheds new light on economic developments in several
countries of Southeast Europe. The European Union and especially
the eurozone continue to experience rhythms of fiscal crisis, as
can most clearly be seen in the debt crisis in the South Periphery.
Despite the fact that several measures and decisions have been
taken to deal with the crisis (banking union, liquidity support
from the European Central Bank), proposals to reform Europe's
strategic policy in order to find a way out of the crisis have been
put forward. This book explores the respective roles that specific
sectors, e.g. the agricultural sector, social capital, tax policies
and labour immigration, can play in this regard. The importance of
international economic relations (exports, imports, FDI, exchange
rates) is analysed, in order to illustrate the nature of the
economic developments and the major economic difficulties these
countries face.
The world is changing rapidly. The global economic crisis has
called into question the political decisions that have been made by
all countries for decades and has led to a re-formulation of tools
and aims. Adjustments to the new situation are necessary and entail
considerable economic and social costs. The Balkan and Black Sea
area is an important reference point for the European and global
economy. Accordingly, the study of the economic development in the
area is of great interest, engaging politicians and scientists
alike. Under this framework, the matter of the relation between the
area's countries and the E.U., the role of the banking system and
the importance of the primary sector of the economy as an important
developmental factor for the countries' economies are of great
importance. "
