Download or read book Remaking the Balkans written by Christopher Cviic and published by Burns & Oates. This book was released on 1991 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This analyzes the political and security implications for South-Eastern Europe resulting from the collapse of communism. For more than four decades the Cold War had ensured not only a flow of aid into the region but also a certain kind of stability, with Greece and Turkey belogning to NATO, Bulgaria annd Romania to the Warsaw Pact, and Yugoslavia and Albania retaining their independence. Now that it is no longer of strategic importance whether any of these countries change allegiance, the old disputes between states, and between nations and minorities within them, have assumed a more important role. There is a threat of some of these conflicts growing into civil wars within states (Yugoslavia, for example) or armed conflicts between states (Hungary versus Romania over Transylvania; Greece and Turkey over Thrace). This could pose problems not only for the neighbouring states but also for the international community as a whole. This study offers ideas on how the map of the Balkans might be recast to deal with some of these problems and how various international mechanisms could be used to contain crises in the short term.

Download or read book A Modern History of the Balkans written by Thanos Veremis and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-02-28 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of the Balkans has been a distillation of the great and terrible themes of 20th century history-the rise of nationalism, communism, fascism, genocide, identity and war. Written by one of the leading historians of the region, this is a new interpretation of that history, focusing on the uses and legacies of nationalism in the Balkan region. In particular, Professor Veremis analyses the influence of the West-from the fall of the Ottoman Empire and the rise and collapse of Yugoslavia. Throughout the state-building process of Greece, Serbia, Rumania, Bulgaria and later, Albania, the West provided legal, administrative and political prototypes to areas bedevilled by competing irredentist claims. At a time when Slovenia, Rumania, Bulgaria and Croatia have become full members of the EU, yet some orphans of the Communist past are facing domestic difficulties, A Modern History of the Balkans seeks to provide an important historical context to the current problems of nationalism and identity in the Balkans.
Download or read book Balkans written by Jesse Russell and published by . This book was released on 2019-11-15 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Balkans. The History, People, Culture, Environment. The Balkans, or the Balkan Peninsula, is a distinct, and rather large, part of southeastern Europe. It takes its name from the Balkan Mountains that extend between the border of Serbia and Bulgaria all the way to the Black Sea. The region comprises many countries. Some definitions consider up to a dozen nations to be entirely or at least partially located in the Balkans. Most often, however, the definition or public perception is limited to the ex-Yugoslavian countries, Albania, Bulgaria, and Romania. It's always up for debate. As we at Chasing the Donkey focus on the entire Balkan Peninsula. This article talks about what to expect when traveling in the Balkans, more specifically in the countries of Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Montenegro, Albania, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Serbia, Romania and Kosovo. This is a relatively undiscovered part of Europe. Much less visited than, for instance, the Iberian Peninsula, Italy, the British Isles and France, the Balkans are somewhat of a blank spot on the map for many Western European and North American travelers. It's not a stretch to state that a lot of Westerners don't know much about the region. That is, of course, with the exception of the Balkan War, which devastated the region in the 1990s. Now twenty years ago, this war still seems to linger in people's minds. If you're one of those people who still associate the word "Balkans" with war and refugees, you really need to visit this gorgeous region. Things have improved and changed a lot.

Download or read book Reconstructing the Balkans written by Derek R. Hall and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 1996-10-21 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The past few years have seen the re-emergence of the Balkans as the "cockpit" of Europe. The break up of Yugoslavia, the regional conflict between ethnic groups, the creation of new states like Slovenia and the transformation of existing ones like Albania, have made the area of prime importance in geopolitical terms once again. Reconstructing the Balkans looks at the complex and rapidly changing human geography of the Balkans and considers the cultural, social and political geographies of the region and its neighbours. It provides both an examination of the history of the Balkans emphasising ethnicity and nationality issues and an evaluation of the historical and geographical roots of contemporary Balkan disputes from a range of national viewpoints. Written by acknowledged experts in the field, the book assesses some of the geographical consequences of the region s conflicts and analyses the post-socialist restructuring, reconstruction and reconfiguration regionwide and country by country. It also gives projections of likely regional development trends. This is a unique book as it represents diverse viewpoints from a wide range of ethnic, national and disciplinary approaches. It draws upon expertise from the USA, the UK and everyone concerned with the Balkan regions making it essential reading for analysts and consultants, in banks, funding agencies and government departments. It will also be of interest to advanced students of European Studies, Geography, International Relations, Politics, Development and History.
