Conflicts involve powerful experiences. The residue of these
experiences is captured by the concept and language of emotion.
Indiscriminate killing creates fear; targeted violence produces
anger and a desire for vengeance; political status reversals spawn
resentment; cultural prejudices sustain ethnic contempt. These
emotions can become resources for political entrepreneurs. A broad
range of Western interventions are based on a view of human nature
as narrowly rational. Correspondingly, intervention policy
generally aims to alter material incentives ('sticks and carrots')
to influence behavior. In response, poorer and weaker actors who
wish to block or change this Western implemented 'game' use
emotions as resources. This book examines the strategic use of
emotion in the conflicts and interventions occurring in the Western
Balkans over a twenty-year period. The book concentrates on the
conflicts among Albanian and Slavic populations (Kosovo,
Montenegro, Macedonia, South Serbia), along with some comparisons
to Bosnia.
