This book critically examines the process of statebuilding by the
EU, focusing on its attempts to build Member States in the Western
Balkan region. This book analyses the European Union's policies
towards, and the impact they have, upon the states of the Western
Balkans, and assesses how these affect the nature of EU foreign
policy. To this end, it focuses on the tools and mechanisms that
the EU employs in its enlargement policy and examines the new
instruments of direct intervention (in Bosnia and Kosovo),
political coercion (in the case of Croatia and Serbia in relation
to the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia),
and stricter conditionality in the Western Balkan countries. The
book discusses the key aim of this special form of statebuilding,
which is to establish functional liberal-democratic states in
Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo, Macedonia,
Montenegro, and Serbia in order for them to join the EU and to cope
with the responsibilities and pressures of membership in the
future. However, the authors argue that while the EU sees itself as
an international actor that promotes and protects
liberal-democratic values, norms and principles, its experiences in
the Western Balkans demonstrate how the EUs actions in the region
have undermined the basic principles of democratic decision-making
(such as the European support for impositions in Bosnia) and
international law (Kosovo), and have consequently contributed to
new tensions (see police reform in Bosnia, and the tensions between
Kosovo and Serbia) and dependencies. This book will be of much
interest to students of statebuilding, EU politics, global
governance and IR/Security Studies in general.

This book examines the political and legal challenges of regional
governance of the 28 countries of the European Union and the 48 in
the Council of Europe. The contributions, dilemmas, and moral
hazards from this record of nearly seven decades of regional
inter-governmental institutions has kept the peace, but produced
episodes of crisis from overstretching jurisdictions, thematically
and geographically. Polarization between nationalist and
integrative forces has displaced the idealistic aspirations of
prior decades to build the rule of law and deter violence.
Academics and policy makers will learn from the various legal and
political efforts to integrate supranational and inter-governmental
agencies with national political systems.
