“…In the light of Brexit (Sampson, 2017), turbulence in Catalonia and possibly Scotland (Vollaard, 2014), halted European Union accession negotiations with the Western Balkans (Marangos et al, 2019), but also accelerated negotiations with Ukraine (Anghel and Džankić, 2023), European political (dis)integration became increasingly challenging in the last couple of years. Contrary to the United Kingdom case, which recently left the EU, six Western Balkan countries together with Ukraine are, arguably, dedicated to the efforts to join the EU.…”

This study examines the impact of EU membership on tourism in Croatia, one of the most important economic sectors in the country. Using the counterfactual synthetic control method, the causal effect of EU membership on overnight tourists in Croatia in the period from 2013 to 2021 is estimated. The results suggest there is a large, positive, and long-term effect of the EU joining on overnight visitors in Croatia, with European tourists being the main contributors to tourism growth. In the period before COVID-19, the maximum discrepancy between the observed number of tourists and the synthetic value was achieved in 2017, with Croatia receiving an additional 3 million visitors, or 23 percent more than the value of the synthetic. Although these results are context-specific, the resemblance of Croatia to some EU candidate countries provides insights into possible tourism outcomes of integration in Europe.

“…FDI occupies an imminent role in the context of trade liberalization and economic growth of the host states (OECD, 2022). The legal recognition of the multinational corporation in the international legal framework has added to the significance of foreign investments in the country where a location, position, population, or any other strategic advantage lies (Marangos et al, 2019). Consequent to the promising inflows in the host country, multidimensional stability has remained as raison d"etre or one of the most decisive factors in investing the capital flows ahead of their financial security, risk mitigation, and wealth maximization.…”

This research aims to highlight post-conflict prospects for Ukraine in the domain of FDIs by taking the OLI framework of Dunning. This research explores the role of the FDI as the most important economic pillar for economic consolidation in a globalized world. The case studies of war-torn countries and the role of the FDIs in their post-war recovery have been evaluated. It has been analyzed that through fundamental economic reforms and restricting to win the investors’ confidence, Ukraine can strategize its ownership, location, and internalization advantage as the country possesses relatively higher significance for global food security, logistics, and international trade. Most importantly prospects are higher for international investors to invest their capital in one of the largest European markets in banking. The NATO membership and EU membership will be the most significant driver of the FDIs for Ukraine.

Günümüzde Avrupa Birliği (AB) aday ülkesi olan Arnavutluk tam üyelik yolunda zorluklarla karşılaşmaktadır. Bu durumun AB’ye bağlı nedenleri olduğu gibi, Arnavutluk’a bağlı nedenleri de vardır. Bu çalışmanın amacı söz konusu nedenleri irdeleyerek bir bütünleşme modeli olan Değişken Geometrili Avrupa Yaklaşımının Arnavutluk için bir seçenek olup olmadığını tartışmaktır. Çalışmada literatür taraması yöntemi kullanılarak yazılı kaynaklar incelenmiştir. Avrupa bütünleşmesinin nasıl gerçekleştirilebileceğine dair çeşitli kuramsal açıklamalar vardır. Siyaset yapıcıların konuya ilişkin katkıları incelendiğinde, işlevselcilik, hükümetlerarasıcılık, kurumsalcılık ve inşacılık gibi klasik bütünleşme kuramlarının dışında, esnek ve farklılaştırılmış bütünleşme modelleri de ortaya koyulduğu görülmektedir. Akademik çalışmalar ise, Değişken Geometrili Avrupa Yaklaşımının farklılaştırılmış bütünleşme kavramının bir alt sınıfını oluşturduğunu göstermektedir. Söz konusu yaklaşım, birçok konuda çekirdek ve diğer üye ülkelerden geri kalmış, ciddi sorunlar yaşayan ülkelerin, bunları çözmesi, hızlı ve daha kolay bütünleşmesi açısından önem arz etmektedir. Arnavutluk’u bu bağlamda ele alan çalışmamız, sonuç olarak, AB için uygun bir bütünleşme yolu olan Değişken Geometrili Avrupa Yaklaşımının, Arnavutluk’un bütünleşme sürecinde karşılaştığı siyasi ve ekonomik zorlukları aşmasında katkı sağlayabileceğini iddia etmektedir.
