Abstract: This review presents and groups a total of 64 articles by various authors published in the journal Études balkaniques (2014-2023) on the development of the Balkans from 1945 to the present. Most conventionally, they can be divided into two large groups, the first of which can be called “thematic publications”, problematizing various conceptual issues related to borders, Europeanization, nationalism, etc. The second group consists of two subgroups of texts that either deal with two Balkan countries or a Balkan and another country, or are devoted to the political, social, economic and social development of specific countries in the region.
Keywords: The Balkans, Contemporary History, Cold War Studies, Post-Cold War Studies
