Provides unique mapping perspectives on the Balkan region
140 figures bring light and attention on areas that have been bound to "secrecy" for decades
Presents research which stands at the crossroads of applied geography, history, and political science
Travel accounts and photographs complement GIS, remote sensing, and statistical analyses
This book demonstrates the pivotal role played by state confines in the geography of Balkan countries through powerful GIS and remote sensing analyses. It provides unique mapping perspectives on the Balkan region, with over 140 illustrations. The book is dedicated to applied, historical and economic geographers, as well as political scientists.Because of its high fragmentation, the Balkan area has not been studied on a systematic transnational basis. The persistence of frozen and/or open conflicts has also turned the border issue into an absolute taboo subject for the scientific community and civil society. This results in an apparent “chaos” that most Western observers fail to understand.
