This book analyzes how different types of involvement by non-Western actors affect reforms in the Western Balkans and the region's integration into the EU. The influence of Russia, China, Turkey, and the UAE is examined through their ties with the countries in the region. The authors provide a comprehensive overview of the role of external non-Western powers in the region, which goes beyond the tendency of some Western governments to perceive any involvement by third countries as a negative threat, and the perspective of the governments in the region that perceive any foreign interest as an opportunity during a period of Western distancing and reduced foreign investments.
By examining the importance of these actors in the Western Balkans, a significant space of global competition is illuminated. At the same time, new information and perspectives are offered on the advantages and weaknesses of Euro-Atlantic integration, leading to a better understanding of foreign policy and the economic, social, and security aspects related to it for small and medium-sized countries.
