SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
With the need to handle persisting problems and conflicts from the past while coping with new economic and political structures, Southeast Europe proves to be a challenging yet fruitful testing ground for establishing a long-term process of social and economic integration. This volume provides a theoretical and comparative overview which examines the prospects for spatial cohesion in this region.
