Can the Balkans ever become a peaceful peninsula like that of
Scandinavia? With enlightened backing, can it ever make common
cause with the rest of Europe rather than being an arena of
periodic conflicts, political misrule, and economic misery? In the
last years of the twentieth century, Western states watched with
alarm as a wave of conflicts swept over much of the Balkans.
Ethno-nationalist disputes, often stoked by unprincipled leaders,
plunged Yugoslavia into bloody warfare. Romania, Bulgaria and
Albania struggled to find stability as they reeled from the
collapse of the communist social system and even Greece became
embroiled in the Yugoslav tragedy. This new book examines the
politics and international relations of the Balkans during a decade
of mounting external involvement in its affairs. Tom Gallagher asks
what evidence there is that key lessons have been learned and
applied as trans-Atlantic engagement with Balkan problems enters
its second decade. This book identifies new problems: organized
crime, demographic crises of different kinds, and the collapse of a
strong employment base. This is an excellent contribution to our
understanding of the area.
