Reviews:

Tired of endless discussions of "transition" and "Europeanisation" that 
never tell you what these terms mean? Consider this: these are words 
about identity, and identity is fraught with conflict, contradiction and 
confusion over how people perceive themselves and others. These dilemmas 
are at the heart of political and social disputes involving Europe and 
the Balkans, and this collection offers a fascinating and challenging 
ride through them.    --- Eric Gordy, Senior Lecturer in Southeast 
European Politics, UCL

EU, Europe Unfinished is an important twist to the conversation on the 
Europe-Balkan relationship, exploring what it means for “Europe to find 
a home” in the Balkans. This rich, multi-disciplinary volume provides 
thought-provoking analyses of how the EU’s eastward expansion is 
remaking—and being remade by—the societies of the Balkans.  --- Madigan 
Andrea Fichter, Assistant Professor, Holy Family University, Philadelphia
