EVALUATION OF THE TECHNOLOGY LEVELS OF SOUTHEAST EUROPEAN COOPERATION PROCESS (SEECP) COUNTRIES
ABSTRACT
The Southeast European Cooperation Process (SEECP) is the only cooperation platform in its region. SEECP Process was established to provide an environment of peace, mutual trust and stability, establish good neighborly relations and establish environmental cooperation. The mentioned cooperation process has thirteen members. SEECP is the only cooperation platform that takes its base from Southeast Europe. In this study, by means of the important parameters such as innovation, patents, utility models, trademarks, industrial designs, population, economic indicatiors, the technology levels of the SEECP countries which are Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Montenegro, Kosovo, Northern Macedonia, Moldova, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia, Turkey and Greece evaluated. For this purpose, SWOT and PESTLE analyzes were used. SWOT analysis has been handled as a useful technique to help understand the strengths and weaknesses of the countries in the region, which are discussed while examining the technology levels of the Southeastern Europe Cooperation Process (SEECP) countries, to recognize opportunities and to see possible threats. PESTEL analysis, on the other hand, was used to establish a framework by using political, economic, social, technological, environmental and legal factors in order to determine the important issues that affect the countries' technology levels. According to the findings about the SEECP countries, it is concluded that Slovenia, Greece, Croatia, Romania and Turkey have moderate, while Albania and Kosovo have quite lower technological levels.
