This book offers an unprecedented account of the Serb Democratic
Party's origins and its political machinations that culminated in
Europe's bloodiest conflict since World War II. Within the first
two years of its existence, the nationalist movement led by the
infamous genocide convict Radovan Karadzic, radically transformed
Bosnian society. It politically homogenized Serbs of
Bosnia-Herzegovina, mobilized them for the Bosnian War, and
violently carved out a new geopolitical unit, known today as
Republika Srpska. Through innovative and in-depth analysis of the
Party's discourse that makes use of the recent literature on
affective cognition, the book argues that the movement's production
of existential fears, nationalist pride, and animosities towards
non-Serbs were crucial for creating Serbs as a palpable group
primed for violence. By exposing this nationalist agency, the book
challenges a commonplace image of ethnic conflicts as clashes of
long-standing ethnic nations.
