This book presents legal and political ways and means to restructure the
international community's efforts to stabilize the Western Balkans.
As part of the international presence in the region, the European Union
adopted sanctions, brokered political agreements, launched its first-ever
police and military missions and directed economic, legal and adminis¬
trative reforms to eradicate the roots of instability. Yet, despite the com¬
prehensive nature of the EU's actions, its strategies have been marked
by confusion, its actions by concurrent or competing mandates of other
international organisations. The Western Balkans still contain the possi¬
bility of a genuine security threat, hence there is a real imperative to
move the region as a whole from the stage of international protectorates
and weak states to the stage of accession to the euro-atlantic organisa¬
tions to which they aspire. The author argues that, under the leadership
of the European Union, only a 'tough love' strategy, based on a firm but
fair application of the conditionality principle, can lead to the integration of
the Western Balkans into the European mainstream. |

This book presents legal and political ways and means to restructure the
international community's efforts to stabilize the Western Balkans.
As part of the international presence in the region, the European Union
adopted sanctions, brokered political agreements, launched its first-ever
police and military missions and directed economic, legal and adminis¬
trative reforms to eradicate the roots of instability. Yet, despite the com¬
prehensive nature of the EU's actions, its strategies have been marked
by confusion, its actions by concurrent or competing mandates of other
international organisations. The Western Balkans still contain the possi¬
bility of a genuine security threat, hence there is a real imperative to
move the region as a whole from the stage of international protectorates
and weak states to the stage of accession to the euro-atlantic organisa¬
tions to which they aspire. The author argues that, under the leadership
of the European Union, only a 'tough love' strategy, based on a firm but
fair application of the conditionality principle, can lead to the integration of
the Western Balkans into the European mainstream. |
