“…Putin's statement during his visit to Athens in December of 2007, for example, voiced strong criticism of the US and the EU. Ultimately, for the Balkan countries to be part of the EU and NATO in no way prevents Russia from being an essential power-broker (Mangott 1999). Likewise, Russian commanders, admirals and Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev have repeatedly pledged that the Russian navy would establish a permanent presence in the Mediterranean, thereby outflanking the Balkans and assuring some visible level of competition and balancing with the US, the EU, and Turkey (Smith 2008).…”

Ample empirical evidence points to recent power shifts in multiple areas of international relations taking place between industrialized countries and emerging powers, and between states and non-state actors. Yet there is a dearth of theoretical interpretation and synthesis of these findings, and a growing need for coherent approaches to understand and measure the transformation. This edited series aims to bring together scholars from all major world regions as well as different disciplines in order to discuss and possibly blend their different approaches and provide new frameworks for the understanding of global affairs and the governance of global power shifts.

Many see the western Balkans as the back yard of Europe. As the promise and reality of regional economic integration has weakened, however, Russia has returned to the area to play its historically important regional role. In the Balkans, a Russian or Russifying project competes against a European Union project, while Washington has shown little interest in the Balkans during the Barack Obama administration. The instruments of this rivalry are not only, or even primarily, armies but rather economic-political forces: control of energy pipelines and production, the use of that control for political objectives, and the attraction of competing political models.
