Description

This volume presents an overview of the political and economic developments in Eastern and South Eastern Europe in the years 2000 to 2005.

Unlike the Central European states that achieved EU membership in 2004 and 2007, the countries in this volume, Bulgaria being the exception, share but one characteristic: diversity.

One could call the phenomenon of the region's variety and diversity the Eastern European pluralism of development.

The essays present detailed analyses of the region's main problems: corruption and bribery on all levels of society; a lack of transparency of state-business relations; a distinct disinterest in international critique or, rather, a distinct insistence on sovereignty and the refusal to adapt to European humanitarian standards of ethnic and religious tolerance.

The essays are based on unique source material from the countries under scrutiny.
