been largely ascribed by outside forces, perceived as a condition related to the EU
integration process, and approached from a state-based viewpoint as an interstate
construct. However, there are emergent trends which reframe regional cooperation
as ‘open regionalism’, more achieved from within, and consisting of multi-actor,
multilevel and multi-scalar processes forming a complex geometry of interlocking
networks, with variable reach and multiple nodal points. This text critically
explores these trends, addressing some of their cross-border, transnational and
interregional dimensions, in the context of wider processes of regional integration.

Research paper thumbnail of Deconsolidation and de-democratisation: Current western Balkans experience of the transition

SEER, 2020

This article reviews the third decade of the post-Wall transition of central and eastern Europe, ... more This article reviews the third decade of the post-Wall transition of central and eastern Europe, paying particular attention to the western Balkans. It focuses on European integration and the indicators of deconsolidation - notably, the lack of trust which has characterised the ‘crisis of confidence’ induced by the EU’s own series of crises since the middle of the 2000s. Additionally, the rise of authoritarianism and populism across the region is often viewed as a symptom of a possible ‘de-democratisation’, or reverse wave. From a process-oriented perspective, the author suggests a rethinking of the various polarisations under which, instead of seeing democratisation and de-democratisation as opposing forces, we may recognise instead that both are actually continuous, interconnected processes related to democracy itself - and not (at least, not necessarily) to a growing state of non-democracy. Oscillation between these two states may well characterise the next decade of the transition but, if we are to address the problems that this causes, we must first understand precisely how we have got where we are.

Based on case studies, common as well as specific features of integration and region-building are presented in the framework of " early " , " old " , " new " and " comparative regionalism " approaches seen as complementary rather than mutually exclusive. Using a long-term time horizon, these four waves are contextualised respectively in the post Second World War, Cold War, post-Cold War, and current Hypertext or Multiplex World Order. In the latter, integration and regionalisation become significantly more intertwined, heterogeneous, open, inclusive, comprehensive and multidimensional.
