New Nation States, Double Nation States or Geopolitical Anomalies on the Map of Europe? The Case of Cyprus, the F.Y.R. of Macedonia, Kosovo, Montenegro, Bosnia-Herzegovina and the Republic of Moldova. The political division of the world in the cold war period resulted among others in the creation of divided nation states in Europe and Asia. The fall of the communist regimes led to the reunification of these countries, but the disintegration of the socialist federal states in Europe generated the formation of new states on the map of Europe, so that at present almost each nation in the Balkans has at least two political entities. Though each of these represents a unique case both from the historical-political and from the socio-economic points of view, there are some important similarities between the historical and the more recent evolution of these states. This study aims to point at the similarities and at the differences between the evolution of the South Eastern European countries, in the context of the geopolitical situation of the Balkans’ region and of the Euro-Atlantic integration.

Keywords: nation states, ethnic structure, divided nations, integration.
