The
Macedonian Mosaic: Pieces of Insight from the Pre-Crisis Years is an
ebook on recent political developments in Macedonia. The author, Chris
Deliso, lives in Macedonia and is the director of the www.balkanalysis.com
web site. The book is a chronological compilation of analyses, interviews
and reports - many not previously available to the public - on the events
and trends that shaped Macedonia between 2009 to 2014 and led to the
2015 political crisis, early national elections and the fall of the
Gruevski government. It aims to show how the Western diplomatic obsession
with resolving the name issue with Greece influenced political events
and preferences; why the ruling VMRO-DPMNE party became estranged from
the Western powers while it retained the electoral support of the majority
of Macedonians; how the opposition SDSM party's failure to transform
itself following electoral defeats created the conditions by which non-government
organizations and civil society organizations funded by foreign governments
and foundations could take it over; and how the Gruevski government's
pro-investment policy affected its choice of priorities and orientation
towards partners like Qatar, Russia, China, Britain, Germany, Italy
and the US. The book also discusses illegal migration, paramilitary
and terrorism plots, Islamic extremist movements, foreign intelligence
penetration and organized crime, and the still-unresolved mystery of
foreign intelligence networks active in Macedonia during the period.
