“…Autori zaključuju da se jaz u nivou razvijenosti između zemalja grupe CEE8 i EU15, iako veliki, vremenom smanjuje. Kasnije studije ovih autora, rađene na istom uzorku zemalja, ali u dužem vremenskom razdoblju, potvrdile su postojanje dohodovne konvergencije unutar EU, posebno među "starim" i "novim" članicama (Matkowski & Prochniak, 2006;Matkowski & Prochniak, 2007).…”

One of the main expectations in European transition economies is that the processes of building the market economy and European integrations lead to a significant increase in the living standard, as well as to catching up with the level of the income per capita achieved in developed European economies. A quarter century after the beginning of transition, many of the former socialist countries joined the EU and significantly increased their GDP per capita. On the other hand, transition in the countries of the so-called Western Balkans has disappointed in this sense. The paper tests the existence and speed of income convergence in the Western Balkan states and developed EU countries, in comparison with the so-called "New Member States". The results indicate that, despite the achieved income convergence in the pre-crisis years, the outbreak of the global economic crisis has revealed many structural and reform problems that the countries of the region have been facing for a long time. Catching up with developed EU members' average GDP per capita stopped in the Western Balkan states after the beginning of the crisis, with a simultaneous increase in the income gap between the Western Balkan states and the new EU member states.

“…Central and Eastern Europe in the years of progressively deepening integration leading to formal accession (Matkowski and Prochniak 2007). Certainly the integration process has created winners and losers, and many aspects are open to criticism, but the expansion of even the relatively thin European entitlement set, and accompanying cross-border investments in infrastructure and development capacity, has enabled significant material gains for tens of millions in less-affluent states.…”

In recent years, some scholars and prominent political figures have advocated the deepening of North American integration on roughly the European Union model, including the creation of new political institutions and the free movement of workers across borders. The construction of such a North American Union, if it included even a very thin trans-state citizenship regime, could represent the most significant expansion of individual entitlements in the region since citizenship was extended to former slaves in the United States. With such a possibility as its starting point, this article explores some striking parallels between the mass, legally prohibited movement across boundaries by fugitive slaves in the pre-Civil War period, and that by current unauthorized migrants to the United States. Both were, or are, met on their journeys by historically parallel groups of would-be helpers and hinderers. Their unauthorized movements in both periods serve as important signals of incomplete entitlements or institutional protections. Most crucially, moral arguments for extending fuller entitlements to both groups are shown here to be less distinct than may be prima facie evident, reinforcing the case for expanding and deepening the regional membership regime
