Non-Territorial Autonomy and Decentralization
This volume describes and analyzes alternative and emerging models of non-territorial autonomy (NTA), particularly in relation to decentralization. The authors push the NTA debate in new directions by offering a re-conceptualization based on ethno-cultural bottom-up decentralized action that redefines autonomy into its true sense of autonomous action. Through description, critical analysis, and evaluation of several case studies, this book assesses the potential for new paradigms within decentralized systems. The authors explore two approaches to political decentralization which add to the theoretical debate on NTA – network governance, which focuses on new dynamics in policy processes, an...

Democratic Consolidation and Europeanization in Romania
This volume is a multi-dimensional analysis of Romania’s political, economic, cultural and societal transformation after 1989. It synthetically depicts the main stages of the processes of democratic transition and consolidation, as well as the subsequent phenomena of Europeanization, but also the series of more recent democratic setbacks that affected the Romanian society. The overall perspective is integrative, providing the reader with a balanced and complete understanding of Romania’s post-communist challenges without being spared of the most sensitive aspects. The volume gathers the contributions of some of the most distinguished experts in different sub-fields of transition studies, including political systems, societal transformations, minority rights, macro-economic dynamics, and foreign policy.

Conflict Areas in the Balkans
The situation in the Balkans, such as the solution to the status of Kosovo, is currently the largest international political problem in Europe, with the potential to burst into a world crisis regarding the Eastern - Western relations. On the other hand, a successful solution to the problem in the Balkans could serve as a model for solving the Muslim - Christian tensions elsewhere in the world. It is the intention of this book to contribute proposals for solutions to the problems of Balkans. The starting principle for the solutions to be effective is that they should come in a natural way from the people below and should not be enforced by the political elites from above. Based on self-determination of nations as a starting principle, they should encourage intra-regional cooperation among the regional entities (economic, cultural, sport, as a basis for political, social understanding and cooperation); secondly, accelerate their economic, political and social development and thirdly, as a final step enable the inclusion of the Balkan countries into the European Union.
