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.
