Europe's recognition of new states in Yugoslavia remains one of the
most controversial episodes in the Yugoslav crisis. Richard Caplan
offers a detailed narrative of events, exploring the highly
assertive role that Germany played in the episode, the reputedly
catastrophic consequences of recognition (for Bosnia-Herzegovina in
particular) and the radical departure from customary state practice
represented by the EC's use of political criteria as the basis of
recognition. The book examines the strategic logic and consequences
of the EC's actions but also explores the wider implications,
offering insights into European security policy at the end of the
Cold War, the relationship of international law to international
relations and the management of ethnic conflict. The significance
of this book extends well beyond Yugoslavia as policymakers
continue to wrestle with the challenges posed by violent conflict
associated with state fragmentation.
