ISBN: 9781848850026 / Angielski / Twarda / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Following the brutal wars which raged in the former Yugoslavia in the early 1990s, Bosnia and Herzegovina was awkwardly partitioned into two governing entities: the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Republika Srpska.

This region was the subject of a highly unusual experiment: placed under a regime of internationally supervised government, Breko became a ""free city,"" evoking the memory of...

Gendered Peace: Women's Struggles for Post-War Justice and Reconciliation
ISBN: 9780415874489 / Angielski / Miękka / 342 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This volume contributes to the growing literature on women, conflict and peacebuilding by focusing on the moments after a peace accord, or some other official ending of a conflict, often denoted as 'post-conflict' or 'post-war'. Such moments often herald great hope for holding to account those who committed grave wrongs during the conflict, and for a better life in the future. For many women, both of these hopes are often very quickly shattered in starkly different ways to the hopes of men. Such periods are often characterized by violence and insecurities, and the official ending of a war...

The Unfinished Peace: The Council of Foreign Ministers and the Hungarian Peace Treaty of 1947
ISBN: 9780880336499 / Angielski / Twarda / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Already published to critical acclaim in Romania and France, The Unfinished Peace examines the impact of the Council of Foreign Ministers on Hungary in the aftermath of World War II. The end of the war did not result in an overall, Versailles-type settlement. Instead, the United States, the Soviet Union, and Great Britain established a forum for peacemaking that resulted in the Hungarian Peace Treaty of 1947. With its harsh territorial redistribution and clauses demanding reparation, the treaty generated the opposite of peace. It failed to establish a true concord among the peoples of...

Drawing on over 150 interviews with former IRA, INLA, UVF and UFF prisoners, this is a major analysis of why Northern Ireland has seen a transition from war to peace.
