Publisher Synopsis
"Beautifully researched and written.... This is an excellent volume that makes an important and timely contribution to our understanding of the collapse of Yugoslavia." * International Affairs * "Gagnon presents an impressive and very original 'social constructivist' analysis of the recent wars in Bosnia and Croatia. In refuting approaches that assume deeply felt ethnic hatreds, the author contends that Yugoslav elites responded to the end of the Cold War by pursuing strategies that would ensure their hold on power and privilege.... This is a must-read for those who want a deeper understanding of the conflict processes in the former Yugoslavia." * Choice * "V. P. Gagnon challenges some widespread notions about the dangerous linkage between ethnicity and the upsurge of violence in the post-Cold War world, and he does it crisply and with plenty of carefully marshaled data." * Foreign Affairs * Read more...
