Abstract

The purpose of this article is to provide a comprehensive comparative analysis of the economic performance, economic structure and trade relations of the Balkan countries, in order to detect basic trends and developments in the region. On the basis of this analysis, the article evaluates alternative scenarios regarding the prospects of the region in the evolving pan‐European economic order and discusses policy responses to the pressures generated by the interaction of the integration and transition processes in South‐eastern Europe. Le but de cet article est de fournir une analyse comparative compréhensive de la performance et de la structure économiques et des relations commerciales des États balkaniques afin de détecter les tendances et les d? veloppements fondamentaux dans la région. Sur la base de cette analyse, cet article évalue différents scénarios pour l’avenir de la région dans l’ordre économique paneuropéen qui se développe lentement, et discute des réponses politiques aux pressions engendrées par l’action mutuelle des processus d’intégration et de transition en Europe du sud‐est.
