HRI

Combined Resources for Effective Policy Making

Southeast European Factbook & Survey 1996-97 jointly published by the Hellenic Foundation for European and Foreign Policy (ELIAMEP), Athens, Greece, and the Hellenic Resources Institute (HRI), Cambridge, USA.

We live in a world of change full of risks and opportunities. The simplicity of the East-West confrontation has given way to the complexity created by the contending forces of integration and fragmentation, nationalism and interdependence. Much of the European and global security is currently being negotiated in Southeastern Europe and Russia's "near abroad" where these forces have collided most violently. The present cooperative effort between the Hellenic Foundation for Foreign and European Policy (ELIAMEP) and the Hellenic Resources Institute (HRI) aims to provide some much needed insights on the most recent developments in the area.

HRI is a non-profit organization based in Boston and dedicated to the promotion of informed public policies. We hope that this factbook does exactly that. It helps the policy-maker, analyst, businessman and general public to make some sense out of a very perplexing reality.

About the Book: It is a 400-page publication with extensive surveys and detailed statistical profiles of the 17 countries of the Balkans and the Black Sea region (Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bosnia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, FYROMacedonia, Georgia, Greece, Moldova, Fomania, Russia, Slovenia, Turkey, Ukraine and Yugoslavia). A Special Section on the Caspian Oil and the Dayton Peace Process is also included. The book provides updated information about the countries and it is a useful supplement for the study of the region.

Price: $20.00 per copy plus shipping and handling: $3.50 for first copy, $0.75 for each additional copy.
