Unpacking Post-Communist Socio-Political Transformations in the Western Balkans: A Citizenship-Centred Approach

Summary/Abstract: Abstract. This paper discusses the benefits of using a citizenship-centred approach in the study of state-building in the Balkans. Applying Shaw’s and Štiks’s concept of the “citizenship regime”, the paper argues that the process of multiple transformations triggered by the fall of communism and the varieties in state-building practices in the post-Yugoslav states cannot be fully comprehended without a deeper understanding of citizenship regimes.
