Laboratory Western Balkans: Regime Cha(lle)nge

by Can Zeyrek (Editor)

Overview

Institutional approaches to the study of transformation processes have been proven insufficient. The book draws the political culture approach as one focal point providing a more comprehensive and deeper understanding of democratic transformations. Embedded transformation as an analytical tool can be used in the reconstruction of transformations.
