The book "Poverty and Exclusion in the Western Balkans" offers a comprehensive analysis of current developments in policy-relevant research on poverty, inclusion, and the social agenda in the Western Balkan countries. It presents a selection of recent works that examine, from a methodological and analytical perspective, how the inclusion agenda can be monitored and adjusted to better understand the challenges in the region. The volume is divided into four sections that address innovative measurement methods, country-specific analyses, the drivers of exclusion, and the establishment of inclusive safety nets. The chapters combine advanced techniques of poverty analysis and provide valuable insights into the social dynamics of the region.
