Global, Regional and Local Perspectives on the Economies of Southeastern Europe - Proceedings of the 14th International Conference on the Economies of the Balkan and Eastern European Countries (EBEEC) in Florence, Italy, 2022

This book includes papers presented at the 14th International Conference 'Economies of the Balkan and Eastern European Countries' (EBEEC), held in Florence, Italy, in May 2022. It sheds new light on the micro- and macroeconomic developments in the Eastern European and Balkan countries, taking into account also the broader regional and global factors influencing these developments. In particular, it includes the latest theoretical and empirical research and policy insights from Central and Southeastern Europe and presents new ideas on how to resolve economic problems, also generated by the pandemic, in the Balkan and Eastern European economies in a pan-European context. By examining how the decisions and the performance of economic, social, and political actors in the area are intertwined with wider events, also at a global level, the papers highlight the dynamic development in Eastern Europe and the Balkans region. Further, the book demonstrates how the area is evolving within the framework of European economic integration and the global effervescent economy.
