Abstract

The monograph was created within the project “Transnational Networks, Transnational Entrepreneurship and the Role of the State” supported through the Regional Research Promotion Programme in the Western Balkans (RRPP), run by the University of Fribourg with the financial support of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC). The objective of this research project was to examine formal, semi‐formal and informal transnational networks developed by transnational entrepreneurs that link the Western Balkans with other European and overseas countries. We wanted to find out how the transfer of social and financial capital, together with know‐how, is sustained within these networks and how it may affect the local communities in their transnational social space; to explore how this phenomenon is contributing to the socioeconomic development of the respective countries; and to investigate the role of the examined countries’ governments and their policies in supporting this form of entrepreneurship. The project includes two countries in the Western Balkans – Serbia and Albania.
