Book Stabilizing and Integrating the Balkans

This book was released on 2001-04-10 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The complex challenge of economic recovery and reconstruction in the Balkans is looked at in this book. The Balkan Stability Pact stands for a networked approach of international organizations to deal with these problems. This analysis critically looks into strategies, actors, and preliminary results. There are shortcomings and inconsistencies and there is some potential for transatlantic conflicts over the issue of burden sharing. There is also a risk of EU imperial overstretch facing eastern and south-eastern EU enlargement.

  • Author : Maria N. Todorova
  • Publisher : BRILL
  • Release : 2018-09-11
  • ISBN : 9004382305
  • Pages : 683 pages

Download or read book Scaling the Balkans written by Maria N. Todorova and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2018-09-11 with total page 683 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scaling the Balkans puts in conversation several fields that have been traditionally treated as discrete: Balkan studies, Ottoman studies, East European studies, and Habsburg and Russian studies. By looking at the complex interrelationship between countries and regions, demonstrating how different perspectives and different methodological approaches inflect interpretations and conclusions, it insists on the heuristic value of scales. The volume is a collection of published and unpublished essays, dealing with issues of modernism, backwardness, historical legacy, balkanism, post-colonialism and orientalism, nationalism, identity and alterity, society-and nation-building, historical demography and social structure, socialism and communism in memory, and historiography.

Book Balkan Family Structure and the European Pattern

Download or read book Balkan Family Structure and the European Pattern written by Maria N. Todorova and published by Central European University Press. This book was released on 2006-05-10 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study, which is an updated, extended, and revised version of the out-of-print 1993 edition, reassesses the traditional stereotype of the place of the Balkans in the model of the European family in the nineteenth century on the basis of new source material and by synthesizing existing research. The work first analyzes family structure and demographic variables as they appear in population registers and other sources, and the impact of these findings on theoretical syntheses of the European family pattern. On most features, such as population structure, marriage and nuptiality, birth and fertility, death and mortality rates, family and household size and structure, as well as inheritance patterns, the Balkans show an enormous deal of internal variety. This variability is put in a comparative European context by matching the quantifiable results with comparable figures and patterns in other parts of Europe. The second section of the book is a contribution to the long-standing debate over the zadruga, the complex, collective, joint or extended family in the Balkans. Finally, the book considers ideology and mythology and the ways it has adversely affected scholarship on the family, and broadly on population history.

Book Beyond the Balkans

    Book Details:
  • Author : Sabine Rutar
  • Publisher : LIT Verlag Münster
  • Release : 2014
  • ISBN : 3643106580
  • Pages : 500 pages

Download or read book Beyond the Balkans written by Sabine Rutar and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2014 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book shows how current and future research on the social history of the Balkans can be integrated into a broader European framework. The contributions look at a range of methodological and empirical issues, and the theme that links the various studies is that of the contrasting, yet, at the same time, entangled ideas of the Balkans as a "mental map" and of Southeast Europe as an "historical region."

  • Author : Tanja Petrović
  • Publisher : BRILL
  • Release : 2014-07-17
  • ISBN : 9004275088
  • Pages : 219 pages

Download or read book Mirroring Europe written by Tanja Petrović and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2014-07-17 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mirroring Europe offers refreshing insight into the ways Europe is imagined, negotiated and evoked in Balkan societies in the time of their accession to the European Union. Until now, visions of Europe from the southeast of the continent have been largely overlooked. By examining political and academic discourses, cultural performances, and memory practices, this collection destabilizes supposedly clear and firm division of the continent into East and West, ‘old’ and ‘new’ Europe, ‘Europe’ and ‘still-not-Europe’. The essays collected here show Europe to be a dynamic, multifaceted, contested idea built on values, images and metaphors that are widely shared across such geographic and ideological frontiers. Contributors are: Čarna Brković, Ildiko Erdei, Ana Hofman, Fabio Mattioli, Marijana Mitrović, Nermina Mujagić, Orlanda Obad, and Tanja Petrović.

Book Integrating the Balkans

    Book Details:
  • Author : Máire Braniff
  • Publisher : Bloomsbury Publishing
  • Release : 2011-06-30
  • ISBN : 0857719882
  • Pages : 240 pages

Download or read book Integrating the Balkans written by Máire Braniff and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2011-06-30 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emerging from a decade of violent ethnic and inter-state conflict during the 1990s, the countries of the Western Balkans entered a phase of rebuilding and reconciliation. Due to the key role played by the EU in the region's rebuilding efforts, "Integrating the Balkans" explores this institution's considerable efforts to influence and shape the nature of state, society and foreign relations, as it utilised the promise of membership as a vital tool to exert its influence. The picture that materialises is one of the EU's discernible, but often contradictory, impact as it offers the carrot of EU membership in the hope that the legacies of the past conflict can be re-evaluated, re-imagined and transformed. By also analysing the conditions that come with EU aid, such as co-operation with the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), Maire Braniff offers an extremely important perspective for all those involved in the study and practice of the processes of European integration and post-conflict resolution.

Book The Eastern Question or Balkan Nationalism s

Download or read book The Eastern Question or Balkan Nationalism s written by Dimitris Stamatopoulos and published by V&R unipress GmbH. This book was released on 2018-09-10 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is critical to the two dominant historiographical paradigms on the topic of Balkan revolutions. This new treatment does not adopt a description of the national movements resulting from the dissolution of the territories of the “Sick man of Europe” from the Great European Powers (Eastern Question Paradigm). Nor is it based on the autonomous process of repetitive awakenings of sleeping Nations, drugged from the Oriental influence of their ruler (Balkan Nationalism Paradigm). Instead, the author attempts a classification as well as a new description of the Balkan national movements as a continuous feedback with the internal sociopolitical schisms in Western Europe, as expressed in the great revolutionary crises from the end of the eighteenth to the beginning of the twentieth century.

Download or read book Imagined Empires written by Dimitris Stamatopoulos and published by Central European University Press. This book was released on 2021-07-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Balkans offer classic examples of how empires imagine they can transform themselves into national states (Ottomanism) and how nation-states project themselves into future empires (as with the Greek "Great Idea" and the Serbian "Načertaniye"). By examining the interaction between these two aspirations this volume sheds light on the ideological prerequisites for the emergence of Balkan nationalisms. With a balance between historical and literary contributions, the focus is on the ideological hybridity of the new national identities and on the effects of "imperial nationalisms" on the emerging Balkan nationalisms. The authors of the twelve essays reveal the relation between empire and nation-state, proceeding from the observation that many of the new nation-states acquired some imperial features and behaved as empires. This original and stimulating approach reveals the imperialistic nature of so-called ethnic or cultural nationalism.
