    Hardback. Condition: New. This interdisciplinary book brings an empirical evidence that social capital is an important building block in the reintegration processes, migration challenges and economic dynamism of the SEE communities. Such a conclusion opposes the common belief that (re)establishing social relations in a post-ethnic conflict environment is difficult, or sometimes even impossible. These are indeed societies where trust in people and institutions remains low, but it is often replaced with other forms of social capital emerging on a daily basis, within and between different population strata, either formally but often informally.Most people who know the region are aware that formal and state institutions in South-East Europe enjoy very low levels of trust. Nearly everybody loves to point to ethnicity as the causal factor behind every difficulty. The authors of this groundbreaking study explore two basic questions: how do people meet their needs and the needs of others when official institutions do not function? And how do members of different ethnic groups experience the role of others and cross symbolic boundaries? The answers, constructed out of empirical evidence using a variety of methods, point to the crucial importance of social capital as an everyday resource, and to the essential role of ethnic, national, and religious diversity in enhancing people's life chances in an unstable environment.Eric Gordy, Professor of Cultural and Political Sociology, University College LondonSince Mark Granovetter many of us know that both over-socialised (macro) level, and under-socialised (narrowly individualist) representations of social world may lead to counter-effective policies. We need to focus on the meso level, where social cooperation is the most real and the most productive. That leads us to the concept of social capital. This is something the authors of this book understand very well. Moreover, applying it, they are able to shed light on human behaviour in the context of the two key phenomena of present day Europe: migration and capacity for self-help during the crises. Great research questions and contribution.Tomasz Mickiewicz, Professor at Aston University and Honorary Research Fellow at University College London.

    Paperback. Condition: New. This book contains collection of articles which provide policy implications related to the problem of achieving substantive reform on the basis of harmonising legislation in Western Balkan (WB) countries with the standards of the European Union (EU). While WB states have generally been successful in adopting legal reforms that make up a part of EU conditionality, many laws remain unenforced, amounting to "empty shells." In the space between law, as it is written, and practices as they are engaged in everyday life, exists a gap, characterized by informality, clientelism, and exchange often based on strong tie relationships. Some instances of informality undermine the goal of establishing rule law and contribute to corruption. Others offer valuable solutions to persistent social problems or represent traditional vehicles of social cohesion that should be promoted. The recommendations in this book seek to address both constructive and damaging instances of informality, and to identify policy measures that can help to harmonise not only legislation, but existing informal practices on the ground.

    Hardback. Condition: New. This interdisciplinary volume gathers recent work related to the diverse migratory movements in South-East Europe. The contributions address current aspects of emigration, immigration, transit migration and return from different disciplinary vantage points. They impressively demonstrate that South-East Europe is a highly dynamic migration region marked by a multiplicity of migration-related processes fuelled by global and especially European developments.ĞThis edited book presents an illuminating and stimulating range of essays on a key European and global region which has experienced an extraordinary diversity of migration types and regimes in recent decades. Employing an innovative range of methodologies, the contributions show that South-East Europe is no longer to be seen as a 'problematic' space of emigration and transit but as a theatre for highly dynamic mobility phenomena.ğ (Russell King, Professor of Geography, University of Sussex)ĞThis thought-provoking book makes an important contribution to understanding migration processes from, within and through South-East Europe. The innovative research approach and new insights about diversity of human mobility in the region described in the book will resonate with scholars, policymakers and broader readership within and beyond the region.ğ (Hariz Halilovich, Associate Professor of Anthropology, RMIT University, Melbourne)ĞThe thorough theoretical and empirical contributions of this volume reveal South-East Europe as a highly diversified European space of complex migration regimes and processes beyond the image of the "troubled", "ethno-national" Balkans. This timely book impressively shows how good scholarship both critically re-assesses knowledge production and points to inequalities and hierarchies on different scales.ğ (Jelena Tosic, Researcher and lecturer in Social Anthropology, Universities of Vienna and Berne).

These are indeed societies where trust in people and institutions remains low, but it is often replaced with other forms of social capital emerging on a daily basis, within and between different population strata, either formally but often informally.Most people who know the region are aware that formal and state institutions in South-East Europe enjoy very low levels of trust. Nearly everybody loves to point to ethnicity as the causal factor behind every difficulty. The authors of this groundbreaking study explore two basic questions: how do people meet their needs and the needs of others when official institutions do not function? And how do members of different ethnic groups experience the role of others and cross symbolic boundaries? The answers, constructed out of empirical evidence using a variety of methods, point to the crucial importance of social capital as an everyday resource, and to the essential role of ethnic, national, and religious diversity in enhancing people's life chances in an unstable environment.Eric Gordy, Professor of Cultural and Political Sociology, University College LondonSince Mark Granovetter many of us know that both over-socialised (macro) level, and under-socialised (narrowly individualist) representations of social world may lead to counter-effective policies. We need to focus on the meso level, where social cooperation is the most real and the most productive. That leads us to the concept of social capital. This is something the authors of this book understand very well. Moreover, applying it, they are able to shed light on human behaviour in the context of the two key phenomena of present day Europe: migration and capacity for self-help during the crises. Great research questions and contribution.Tomasz Mickiewicz, Professor at Aston University and Honorary Research Fellow at University College London The book investigates social capital in the periods of normality and crisis in SEE; it looks how different dimensions of social capital interact with migration experience and extends this focus to the role of ethnic diversity in affecting social capital. It ends by analysing how ethnic diversity affects the economic performance of individuals.

    Hardback. Condition: New. This interdisciplinary volume gathers recent work related to the diverse migratory movements in South-East Europe. The contributions address current aspects of emigration, immigration, transit migration and return from different disciplinary vantage points. They impressively demonstrate that South-East Europe is a highly dynamic migration region marked by a multiplicity of migration-related processes fuelled by global and especially European developments.ĞThis edited book presents an illuminating and stimulating range of essays on a key European and global region which has experienced an extraordinary diversity of migration types and regimes in recent decades. Employing an innovative range of methodologies, the contributions show that South-East Europe is no longer to be seen as a 'problematic' space of emigration and transit but as a theatre for highly dynamic mobility phenomena.ğ (Russell King, Professor of Geography, University of Sussex)ĞThis thought-provoking book makes an important contribution to understanding migration processes from, within and through South-East Europe. The innovative research approach and new insights about diversity of human mobility in the region described in the book will resonate with scholars, policymakers and broader readership within and beyond the region.ğ (Hariz Halilovich, Associate Professor of Anthropology, RMIT University, Melbourne)ĞThe thorough theoretical and empirical contributions of this volume reveal South-East Europe as a highly diversified European space of complex migration regimes and processes beyond the image of the "troubled", "ethno-national" Balkans. This timely book impressively shows how good scholarship both critically re-assesses knowledge production and points to inequalities and hierarchies on different scales.ğ (Jelena Tosic, Researcher and lecturer in Social Anthropology, Universities of Vienna and Berne).

    Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -We empirically analyze the relationship between ethnic tensions, institutional and economic performance in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), including a qualitative analysis of this issue for BiH and Macedonia. The research is conducted by a mixed methods approach, in which questionnaire surveys of the household and business sectors in BiH are supplemented by semi-structured interviews. We find that the most important factors affecting both individual economic performance and individual ethnic tolerance in BiH are employment status, education and age; they both singly and in combination move individuals in BiH towards greater probability of being both prosperous and tolerant. The qualitative analysis based on interviews conducted in BiH and Macedonia supports similar conclusions by identifying that the most important factors affecting ethnic tensions include: employment, education, and neighborhood. Finally, the empirical findings from the business survey in BiH suggest that ethnic tensions inherent in company's culture, formal institutions and firm's environment adversely affect the export performance of firms located in these communities. 188 pp. Englisch.
