Central Europe, Eastern Europe, the Balkans and Southeast Europe as macro- region space concepts are not regions designable by physical geography; the geographical content of these concepts is drawn and re-drawn by historical, cultural and geopolitical processes. Debates on the extension and content of the macro-regions featured intensify every now and then, especially in crisis periods - it is enough to think of the years before, during and after the world wars, the regime change, and these days. Our paper, with the brief summary of the preliminaries, highlights, from the perspective of our age, the geopolitically determined transformation and demonstrates the findings of our empirical research. During our research we made a questionnaire survey in which we recorded mental maps of the university students of Hungary and its seven neighbour countries, looking at where the respondents put their own countries and what image of the respective macro-regions lived in their minds. Our findings may be subject to debates but clearly show the convergent or divergent directions of the respective countries, at least as regards the judgement by the youth.

In this paper, the global simulation model (GSIM) for the analysis of global, regional, and unilateral trade policy changes by Francois and Hall (2003) was applied to the agricultural trade between the EU, the Balkans and Turkey. This was done in order to measure the effects of an EU accession of the Balkans and Turkey. Most of the changes in welfare after a full liberalisation of agricultural trade between the Balkans and Turkey on the one hand and the EU on the other hand can be expected in the accession countries themselves. It is estimated that incumbent EU members will be affected only to a minor extent. It was also estimated that the exchange rate risk is not very high.

Artykuł, poddając analizie innowacje w Europie Południowo-Wschodniej, a w szczególności przypadek Macedonii, koncentruje się na podstawowych zależnościach między bezpośrednimi inwestycjami zagranicznymi a innowacjami. Bezpośrednie inwestycje zagraniczne definiuje się zwykle jako większościowe lub kontrolne prawo własności firmy działającej w danym kraju (kraju przyjmującym), przez podmiot posiadający siedzibę w innym kraju. Teoria relacji państwo-przemysł-uczelnie wyższe wyjaśnia przejście od dominującej relacji przemysł-państwo w „społeczeństwie industrialnym" do rozwijającej się relacji państwo-przemysł-uczelnie wyższe w ramach „społeczeństwa wiedzy". Od początku procesu transformacji, bezpośrednie inwestycje zagraniczne pozostają priorytetem, niezbędnym filarem, który przyczynia się do rozwoju społeczeństwa w kierunku rozwiniętej gospodarki rynkowej. Ponadto zwiększony napływ kapitału nieuchronnie niesie ze sobą rozwój innowacji. Dlatego analizowana jest kwestia, czy te dwa procesy mogą postępować i przyczyniać się do rozwoju gospodarki.

This paper, while analysing innovation in Southeast Europe, and in particular the case study of Macedonia, focuses on the basic ties between foreign direct investments and innovation. Foreign direct investment is usually defined as dominant or controlling ownership of a company in one country (the host country), by an entity based in another country. The concept of industry-government-university relationships interprets the change from a dominating industry-government duo in the ‘industrial society’ to a growing triadic relationship between industry-government-university in the ‘knowledge society’.From the beginning of the transition process, foreign direct investments have been a priority, an essential pillar that moves the society forward towards a developed market economy. In addition, as the influx of capital increases it inevitably brings with it increased innovation. Hence we examine the possibility that these two indicators have a positive and upward ascent and facilitate the development of the economy.

Вопрос, поставленный в тексте, касается связи между консолидацией демо­кратии в посткоммунистических странах и развитием гражданского общества. Сформулированные в политологии тезисы об этой связи, не являются очевидны­ми и не выдерживают пробу временем. Тем более, что само определение условий консолидации демократического порядка, включает в себя различные измерения. Целью статьи является показание, что процесс консолидации демократии является очень сложным и одновременно проблематичным, так же как и роль, которую в этом процессе играет гражданское общество. И хотя невозможно ограничить понимание демократии до исключительно ее институционального аспекта, каждая попытка уточнения ее „субстанционного” характера, включающего в себя устойчивое граж­данское общество и политическую культуру участия, не является очевидной, осо­бенно в контексте обществ, которые проходили процесс демократизации в рамках разрозненных вызовов и традиций, которые перед ними стали.

The main question of the article is the connection between democratic consolidation in post-Soviet states and civil society development. Even though such a thesis is very popular in political science, it cannot be borne out in present-day policy. And even if we describe democracy as a purely institutional arrangement, it’s impossible to ignore its substantial character. It certainly includes a dynamic civil society and participatory character of political culture. Given these issues, political analysis is very difficult for all researchers, especially because of the variety of traditions and beliefs.
