Crime and the National Economy in the Balkans offers a gripping and in-depth analysis of how organized crime, corruption, and illicit trade have shaped the region’s economic landscape. Drawing on historical data, political developments, and real-life case studies, this book reveals the hidden connections between underworld networks and state institutions. It examines how smuggling, money laundering, and black-market economies have influenced both national policies and everyday life. From the collapse of communism to the challenges of EU integration, the narrative uncovers the economic forces driving criminal enterprises. The book highlights how political instability and weak institutions have allowed illegal markets to thrive. It also investigates the impact of these activities on legitimate businesses, foreign investments, and economic growth. Written with clarity and depth, it is both an academic resource and a compelling read for anyone interested in crime, politics, and economics. A must-have for researchers, students, journalists, and policy-makers focused on Southeast Europe.
