Decentralisation and Regionalisation in Serbia. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Sep 2008, Pages: 84
Local and regional democracy is a pillar of
democratic societies. However, democracy in the EU
pre-candidate countries is still young and fragile.
Determined and sustained efforts are needed to
develop and consolidate institutions and the rule of
law. Concerning Serbia, the topic touches on
politically sensitive territorial issues. As an
ethno-heterogeneous state with regions distinguishing
themselves strongly from each other, many country
specific features need to be considered. This book
identifies the existing historical, political and
socio-economical complexities in distributing power
and analyses the impact of reached achievements on
the basis of various examples. Are the undertaken
efforts sufficient to appropriately regulate the
territorial organisation? Does the large number of
challenges outweigh the opportunities? The author
gives a comprehensive evaluation of the situation on
Serbia’s competence to respond to international and
internal expectations which have accumulated as part
of the transition policy. The book addresses domestic
decision-makers, representatives of international
organisations and citizens of Serbia who are actively
participating in democratic life.
