Review

'This volume offers an alternative perspective on South Eastern Europe by providing a wide-ranging and up-to-date examination of the opportunities and achievements, as well as the challenges and difficulties, of transnational, European projects for spatial planning and economic and political integration. It argues that it is these projects' ambition to afford a common vision and a shared road map, capable of leading in the direction of greater integration and cohesion.'Mick Dunford, University of Sussex, UK'Grounded both theoretically and empirically, this book highlights both the challenges and opportunities of developing a common vision for the spatial development of Southeastern Europe. It clearly links the specific challenges to the political and geomorphologic fragmentation of the region, whilst providing useful insights on the various opportunities, particularly in the context of European integration.'Hubert Heinelt, Darmstadt University of Technology, Germany
