Disentangling a controversial history of turmoil and progress, this
Handbook provides essential guidance through the complex past of a
region that was previously known as the Balkans but is now better
known as Southeastern Europe. It gathers 47 international scholars
and researchers from the region. They stand back from the premodern
claims and recent controversies stirred by the wars of Yugoslavia's
dissolution. Parts I and II explore shifting early modern divisions
among three empires to the national movements and independent
states that intruded with Great Power intervention on Ottoman and
Habsburg territory in the nineteenth century. Part III traces a
full decade of war centered on the First World War, with forced
migrations rivalling the great loss of life. Part IV addresses the
interwar promise and the later authoritarian politics of five newly
independent states: Albania, Bulgaria, Greece, Romania, and
Yugoslavia. Separate attention is paid in Part V to the spread of
European economic and social features that had begun in the
nineteenth century. The Second World War again cost the region
dearly in death and destruction and, as noted in Part VI, in
interethnic violence. A final set of chapters in Part VII examines
postwar and Cold War experiences that varied among the four
Communist regimes as well as for non-Communist Greece. Lastly, a
brief Epilogue takes the narrative past 1989 into the uncertainties
that persist in Yugoslavia's successor states and its neighbors.
Providing fresh analysis from recent scholarship, the brief and
accessible chapters of the Handbook address the general reader as
well as students and scholars. For further study, each chapter
includes a short list of selected readings.
