Europa vor der Südosterweiterung. Strategiepapier zur Konferenz "Südosteuropa auf dem Weg in die Europäische Union"
This paper uses the findings of the Bertelsmann Transformation Index, a global ranking of democracy, market economy and political management, to discuss different hypotheses. The performance profiles for Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and Serbia and Montenegro are compared, analyzing the trajectories of these countries over time and in comparison with other Southeast European, East Central European and Latin American democracies. The paper shows that there is an evident public disappointment with the performance of democratic institutions, coupled with weak intermediary organizations and significant populist or nationalist voices, but this belongs to an interplay of mutually reinforcing defects that can also be observed in Latin American countries.
