Summary
The European integration of the Western Balkans remains a complex and protracted process, marked by structural impediments, inconsistent policy approaches, and shifting geopolitical dynamics. While the European Union (EU) has consistently reaffirmed its commitment to the region’s accession, the process has been hindered by both internal EU challenges and regional governance deficiencies. This lecture critically examines the structural barriers and theoretical implications of EU enlargement, exploring the interplay of institutional inertia,geopolitical recalibration, and the evolving nature of conditionality.
