Opis

With the raging civil war continuing unabated in the former country of Yugoslavia, and the potential for similar conflict in other former members of the Eastern Bloc (such as Czechoslovakia), it is urgent to understand the underlying motivations of the various groups fighting in order to resolve the conflict before more lives are lost. This report provides an analysis of the significance of nationalism and ethnic conflict in the affairs of the populations of Central and Eastern Europe. It describes and analyzes nationalist developments--particularly in Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia--and examines the response of European security institutions to problems of ethnic nationalism.

Recenzje

The book is well-organized, focusing on single distinct regions one at a time, and developing a general summary before focusing on the most significant problems ... this book provided a tremendous service, surveying the variety of conflicts in a changing continent.
