Abstract

Review

The title, "North Macedonia monthly briefing: Europe’s Wasteland: How Macedonia Became One of..", immediately signals a critical and potentially investigative report focusing on significant challenges within North Macedonia. The phrase "Europe's Wasteland" is highly evocative, suggesting a grim assessment of the country's environmental, economic, or social landscape, positioning it as a cautionary tale or a case study of degradation within Europe. The "monthly briefing" component implies this document may be part of a recurring series, potentially targeting a policy audience or providing ongoing commentary, rather than a standalone, peer-reviewed academic article with a specific research question and methodology. This framing suggests a focus on analysis and potentially policy implications rather than empirical research in a traditional scientific sense. A fundamental limitation in reviewing this submission is the complete absence of an abstract. An abstract is the cornerstone of any academic or analytical piece, providing a concise summary of its purpose, scope, methodology, key findings, and main arguments. Without this crucial overview, it is impossible to assess the paper's specific contribution, the nature of its claims, the evidence presented, or the rigor of its analysis. We cannot discern whether the piece employs qualitative or quantitative methods, relies on primary or secondary data, or even what specific "wasteland" aspect (e.g., pollution, economic decline, political dysfunction) is being explored in detail. This omission severely hinders any substantive evaluation of its academic merit or journalistic depth. Given the provocative title, the paper holds significant potential to shed light on critical issues facing North Macedonia, offering valuable insights into environmental degradation, socio-economic disparities, or governance challenges within a European context. However, without access to the abstract—and by extension, the full content—it is impossible to evaluate whether this potential is realized. To enable a proper review, a comprehensive abstract outlining the specific focus, analytical framework, data sources, and principal conclusions is absolutely essential. Without such information, any judgment on the paper's originality, validity, or overall impact remains entirely speculative and unsubstantiated.
