This book provides a broad, interdisciplinary analysis of events impacting on North Macedonia since its independence, particularly during the last decade. In the past thirty years, the country has gone through a series of tremendous changes, including a name change from 'Macedonia' to the 'Republic of North Macedonia' following the Prespa Agreement, which ended a long-lasting name dispute. The contributors consider Macedonia's challenges, its multi-ethnic/multi-cultural background and its ambition to enter the European mainstream through the auspices of the European Union and NATO, amidst a raft of other issues. The volume includes chapters on international politics and North Macedonia’s place in the region’s security architecture. weiterlesen
