Abstract
The Green Agenda for the Western Balkans (GAWB) aims to build transnational cooperation in the Western Balkan (WB) Region under key green agenda policy themes. This article explores whether the GAWB development and implementation process reflects an exercise in experimentalist macro-regional governance in the WBs. The GAWB process is examined through the lens of experimentalist governance and its four core dimensions. The assessment indicates that experimentalist macroregional governance logic is driving GAWB processes, which promote coherence between WB countries under green agenda policies. The GAWB, therefore, lays the foundations for future macro-regional strategy building within the WB Region.
