• W288320026 abstract "Insights Into the Political Conditions in the Western BalkansUnderstanding of complex social processes that took place in the Balkans in the past two decades is inseparable both from the specificities of the conflict in former Yugoslavia and the collapse of socialism in Eastern Europe. One such attempt, especially aimed at the prospects of building democracy in the light of these processes is the study Embracing Democracy in the Western Balkans, written by Lenard Cohen and John Lampe.The aim of this study is a comparative evaluation of democratic consolidation in the states created by dissolution of Yugoslavia and Albania, respectively, consideration of these countries potentials and the Western Balkans as a whole, to establish democratic orders after the (armed) conflict. Authors percieve democratic consolidation as a possible counterweight to the authoritarian regression, teleologicaly binding the process of consolidation with that of generating stability, certainty and continuity of the democratic order. From a specific analytical perspective, democratic consolidation is viewed as the historically conditioned process of transformation from an authoritarian legacy of socialism towards joining the European Union, through the development of institutional framework of pluralism and liberal democracy, based on the dispersion of power and of a broader legitimacy.These processes have been observed historically through a relatively flexible theoretical matrix, giving this study a socio-historical character. This matrix, although mostly implicitly shown, is conceptually grounded on fundamental postulates of the modernization theory, especially on Lipset's thesis, according to which democratization is closely related to the broader transformational, modernizing processes. Certainly, it is about perceiving social changes and development through the institutionalization of political pluralism, introduction of a multiparty system and creation of administrative efficiency at the political level, then market deregulation and de-etatisation on the economic and detraditionalization of value frameworks on a cultural level. Cohen and Lampe also pay attention to the modernization aspects on social level, like strengthening of middle class, development of civil society, independent media, etc., which are also taken as relevant for the construction of democracy. These aspects of modernization represent specific indicators, whose changes toward assumed model are taken as general evaluative framework of democratic consolidation process.Through qualitative analysis, which includes a total of nine chapters, authors are demonstrating both prudence with generalizations and analytical sensitivity in detecting nuances, especially in recognition of differences in the trajectories of separate states. On the other side, certain problems occur on the empirical level, due to extensive reliance on news sources and uncritical approach to the data sources. Such approach, combined with the use of data obtained from public opinion surveys, potentially remains on the expressive and manifest plane, excluding deeper insights into broader practices of actors and their underlying dispositions. However, the diversity of used empirical data shows an overall adequacy for highlighting of particular aspects of democratic consolidation.Despite the complexity and multifaceted nature of these processes, some key findings of overall democratic consolidation process in the region can be found, due to the synchronous comparison between states. Thus authors, not retaining on the normative level, recognize that changes after the collapse of socialism and the conflict in the 1990's, were limited in character and represented only a partial pluralisation that was still burdened by political and economic constraints of earlier period. …" @default.
