With the expansion of the European Union, the countries of Southeast Europe have finally been brought together within one socio-political entity. The restructuring of these economies following globalization and neoliberalization has meant that this region has become much more open to geopolitical shifts and trends. While the various countries have all entered into the slow process of European integration, the historic fragmentation of this region has led to various conflicts and contradictions in the restructuring and transition of national economies. This volume provides a theoretical and comparative overview which examines the prospects for spatial cohesion in this region. With the need to handle persisting problems and conflicts from the past while coping with new economic and political structures, Southeast Europe proves to be a challenging yet fruitful testing ground for how best to overcome fragmentation and establish a long-term process of social and economic integration.

This chapter analyzes the EU-driven process of de-politicization (good governance reforms) which has accompanied the Europeanization of South Eastern Europe. It is argued that rather than to improve governance and the functionality of the state, good governance reforms have resulted in the fragmentation of the classical constitutional state (and governance). The Europeanized and fragmented state did not have the strength to rebuild coherence through a national counter-process of unity formation (as in Poland or Hungary). Instead, countries from SEE have tried to overcome fragmentation through a revival of informality (i.e. informal hidden structures based on clientelistic, secret service, organized crime and veteran/military networks). Overall, the imposed good governance agenda of neutralization, depoliticization and liberalization has fragmented and weakened the nation state and reinforced informal governance and the deep state.

This volume uses new empirical evidence and analytical ideas to study phenomena of fragmentation and exclusion threatening stability and cohesion in Greek society in the aftermath of the crisis. The contributors argue that processes of fragmentation and exclusion provoked by the crisis can be observed on both a material and an ideational level. On a material level, rising levels of unemployment, poverty and inequality have produced new social security “outsiders”, while on an ideational level, a discursive-cultural shift is documented, which has led to new understandings and categorizations of new (and old) insiders and outsiders. Moreover, the volume attests to the aspirations, but also the limitations, of spontaneous civil society mobilization to address the social crisis. Finally, the volume offers a discussion of the political management of social fragmentation and exclusion in Greece both before and after the onset of the crisis. The book will be of interest to scholars and students of social policy and phenomena of poverty, social exclusion and economic inequality, civil society studies, and comparative political economy and politics.
