Elizabeth Pond Knihy

"Calling for a continued partnership between the United States and Germany, who "have come through a common baptism of fire since the fall of the Berlin Wall," Pond casts an optimistic eye toward the future."--BOOK JACKET.

The book delves into the complex relationship between the Balkans and the European Union, analyzing the impact of the Yugoslav wars and the ongoing quest for EU membership. Elizabeth Pond examines how the aspirations for integration into Europe have influenced political and social dynamics in the Balkans, while also considering how these regional developments have, in turn, affected the EU's policies and perceptions. Through this lens, the book offers a nuanced understanding of a pivotal area in contemporary Europe.
