Book Description
This book offers a comprehensive analysis of North Macedonia’s economic transformation since independence, detailing the country’s journey of reform, resilience, and institutional change. As the first volume in the Balkan Political Economy Series, it begins with the historical and institutional context of the post-socialist transition, then explores key policy challenges such as macroeconomic stabilization, privatization, debt management, and fiscal reform. Special attention is given to sectoral transformations in agriculture, banking, and trade, supported by empirical analysis and policy recommendations. The book also addresses labor market dynamics and remittances, recognizing the influence of the diaspora on economic stability. Beyond economic indicators, it examines the political economy of EU integration, the development of SMEs, and the ongoing challenges of sustainable development. By combining historical narrative, sectoral insight, and strategic foresight, this volume serves as a valuable resource for scholars, policymakers, and students interested in the complex, multidimensional nature of economic reform in small transitional economies.
