Opis

This book looks at neoliberalism’s attempts to cure the Balkans of its ethnic particularities under the pretext of Europeanisation, and shows how the reconfiguration of the economics, politics and culture of the region has led to it functioning as Europe’s neo-colony. This book was originally published as a special issue of Interventions.
