Call for Papers

ANALYTICAL VOL: 1, No: 2

Analyticalis an electronic journal published by Analytica, which is focused on studying and analyzing the recent and ongoing socio-political and economic developments in the Western Balkans and the wider region. The journal will include contributions that approach the subject area – countries of the Western Balkans – from various perspectives: political, IR, economic, historical, sociological, educational, etc.

Analytical now accepts submissions for the second (fall-winter) issue for 2008. The topic of this issue is:

Scarcity and
Exploitation of Natural Resources in Developing Societies

Contemporary development debates often feature discussions about the environmental impact and effects of development measures and policies of the developing world. Scientists warn on the adverse effects that uncontrolled development policies can have on the natural resources and the environment. Therefore, recently even development aid is conditioned on respect of specific environmental standards.

However, environmental debate is more present in developed countries than the developing ones and there is a need to raise the policy-makers’ and especially public awareness about preserving and prudent use of natural resources for development purposes. In the western Balkans, where all states aspire to join the European Union, this drive towards environmental awareness and resource preservation is provided by the EU requirements and standards in the area of environment. These drives towards faster growth and development and greater environmental awareness and protection pose a challenge for the policy-makers in western Balkans states – one well worth investigating.

The contributions for this issue are expected to address the subject of scarcity and exploitation of natural resources from a variety of theoretical and empirical perspectives. Interdisciplinary approaches are particularly welcome. Particularly welcome are contributions examining: alternative and innovative ways towards environment- friendly development, impact of scarcity of natural resources on development policies, EU accession environment standards performance of Western Balkans countries. Other original and innovative contributions are also welcome.
