Sažetak
This chapter discusses the possible implications of rising inequality and poverty, actual and perceived, in seven south-eastern European economies (five of which are also Mediterranean). The levels of inequality and poverty in this region were higher than in the other non-CIS transformation economies, and, also, took place in special environment. It is argued that the increases in inequality and poverty are inherent in the transformation and that the former are part of the pro-transformation consensus. The chapter shows that the conditional legitimacy of transformation depends to a great extent on the consequences of rising inequality and poverty, not only in terms of the actual changes but equally importantly of the actor’ s perceptions and interpretations of the processes involved. The chapter concludes by drawing up a policy recommendation for maintaining the transformation legitimacy in the economies of the region in view of specific dangers.
