The EU's Eastward Enlargement Central and Eastern Europe's Strategies for Development

In the years following the global financial and Eurozone crises of 2008 2010, the accession of Central and Eastern European countries to the European Union and the Eurozone has not been an easy one. Central and Eastern Europe and The Eurozone Crisis analyses challenges that these countries currently face in their pursuit of economic self-reliance. Covering a period from the second half of the 1980s to the present, Yoji Koyama provides unique and objective analyses of the European Union and the Euro system from a non-European's perspective. He offers a detailed re-examination of the fundamental problems of the European Union, which in turn have affected the autonomous development of countries such as the former Yugoslavia, Albania, and other Baltic states. This book is a useful addition to the scholarship available on the Euro system and Central and Eastern European countries. It will help readers gain a more holistic understanding of the ongoing Eurozone crisis and the future of the Eurozone project.
