| Abstract |
The author examines why the Balkans, despite their liberation from oppressive, foreign domination, have not developed politically and economically as other Western European countries have. The Balkans' awareness of their own lack of development in comparison to more advanced modern countries may account for some of the ambivalence in the relationship between peripheral countries and their more developed neighbours, who are often viewed as corrupt. The ethnic and national inconsistencies make the acceptance of the state by its citizens very difficult. |
