The author discusses the theory of 'consociational democracy' often considered the key to stabilizing deeply divided countries, and reapplies it on the international stage to argue for how the EU can better direct democratization. 410 0$aAnthem series on Russian, East European and Eurasian studies. 606 $aDemocratization$zAlbania 606 $aDemocratization$zMacedonia (Republic) 607 $aAlbania$xPolitics and government$y1990- 607 $aMacedonia (Republic)$xPolitics and government$y1992- 615 0$aDemocratization 615 0$aDemocratization 676 $a320.94965 700 $aPeshkopia$b Ridvan$01051709 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453263403321 996 $aConditioning democratization$92482420 997 $aUNINA
