The Economic Development of Southeastern Europe in The 19th Century

Abstract

The volume edited by Edhem Eldem and Socrates Petmezas presents a collection of articles studying economic development in southeastern Europe within a global and local context. In contrast to nationalist Balkan historiographies this volume invokes a global and comparative approach, which treats southeastern Europe as a geopolitical and socioeconomic unity. The book includes articles addressing transformations in agriculture, industry, transportation and communications, finance and banking and political loyalty.
