Since the early 1990s, Southeast European studies have undergone profound changes, being shaped by the wars of Yugoslav succession and the ramifications of post-socialism, coupled with democratic deficiencies, which characterize most of Southeast Europe.

The imprint of these contexts on academic research has led to a discussion of the role of Southeast European studies. It is the task of...
