This book is a comprehensive study of more than 200 years of the
shared and interconnected histories of Greek-Albanian relations, a
field of inquiry that has not attracted the international scholarly
attention it deserves. The book presents and analyses in detail
topics including the contested borderland (1800–1912), the Greek
Revolution (1821–1830) and Greek-Albanian entanglements during
it, Greek nationalism (identity and narrative), the Albanians
(pre-modernism, belated nationalism, origin), the rise of Albanian
nationalism, Albanian national identity and historical narrative,
Greek-Albanian relations from the League of Prizren (1878) until
Albania’s declaration of independence (1912), Greek irredentism
(the "Northern Epirus Question", 1912–1920) and Albania’s
precarious independence, Greek irredentism and Greek-Albanian
relations (the "Northern Epirus Question", 1940–1971), the Greek
minority in Albania, the Cham (Muslim Albanian) issue, the
turbulent first part of the 1990s, the pending Greek-Albanian
issues, and public opinion. It concludes with a road map for an
eventual Albanian-Greek reconciliation. This volume will interest
scholars and students of Southeastern Europe (Balkans),
international and political history, political science and
sociology. It will also be a valuable resource for diplomats,
journalists, think tanks and other organizations and institutions
involved in Greek-Albanian relations.
This book is a comprehensive and dispassionate analysis of the
intriguing Macedonian Question from 1878 until 1949 and of the
Macedonians (and of their neighbours) from the 1890s until today,
with the two themes intertwining. The Macedonian Question was an
offshoot of the wider Eastern Question - i.e., the fate of the
European remnants of the Ottoman Empire once it dissolved. The
initial protagonists of the Macedonian Question were Greece,
Bulgaria and Serbia, and a Slav-speaking population inhabiting
geographical Macedonia in search of its destiny, the largest
segment of which ended up creating a new nation, comprising the
Macedonians, something unacceptable to its three neighbours. Alexis
Heraclides analyses the shifting sands of the Macedonian Question
and of the gradual rise of Macedonian nationhood, with special
emphasis on the Greek, Bulgarian and Serbian claims to Macedonia
(1870s-1919); the birth and vicissitudes of the most famous
Macedonian revolutionary organization, the VM(O)RO, and of other
organizations (1893-1940); the appearance and gradual establishment
of the Macedonian nation from the 1890s until 1945; Titos's crucial
role in Macedonian nationhood-cum-federal status; the
Greek-Macedonian name dispute (1991-2018), including the 'skeletons
in the cupboard' - the deep-seated reasons rendering the clash
intractable for decades; the final Greek-Macedonian settlement (the
2018 Prespa Agreement); the Bulgarian-Macedonian dispute
(1950-today) and its ephemeral settlement in 2017; the issue of the
Macedonian language; and the Macedonian national historical
narrative. The author also addresses questions around who the
ancient Macedonians were and the fascination with Alexander the
Great. This monograph will be an essential resource for scholars
working on Macedonian history, Balkan politics and conflict
resolution.
This book offers a sober, contemplative and comprehensive coverage
of Greek-Turkish relations, covering in depth the current political
climate, with due regard to the historical dimension. The book
includes up-to-date accounts of the traditional areas of unresolved
discord (Aegean, minorities, Cyprus, the Patriarchate), with
emphasis on why they remain contentious, despite the thaw in
Greek-Turkish relations from 1999 until recently. It also covers
new topics and challenges that have led to cooperation as well as
friction, such as unprecedented economic cooperation, energy
resources, or the refugee crisis. Furthermore, the volume deals
with the 'Europeanization' of Greek-Turkish relations and other
facilitating factors as they appeared in the first decade of the
21st century (including the role of civil society) as well as the
contrary, 'de-Europeanization' from the 2010 onwards, which
presages a hazardous downward trend in their relations, often not
helped by the media in both countries, which is also examined. This
volume will be essential reading to scholars and students of
Greek-Turkish relations, more generally Greece and Turkey, and more
broadly to the study of South European Politics, European Union
politics, security studies and International Relations.

The human dimension of the Conference on Security and Co-operation
in Europe (CSCE) implies an alternative vision of security and
co-operation in Europe, based on respect for human rights,
democracy, the rule of law, minority rights and human contacts.
Until recently the human dimension has been the main claim to
perpetuity of the CSCE. It has been through the years the main
point of controversy among its participating states, and has played
an important role in the revolutionary events of 1989 which
transformed Europe.

This book is a comprehensive presentation of humanitarian
intervention in theory and practice during the course of the
nineteenth century. Through four case studies, it sheds new light
on the international law debate and the political theory on
intervention, linking them to ongoing issues, and paying particular
attention to the lesser known Russian dimension.The book begins by
tracing the genealogy of the idea of humanitarian intervention to
the Renaissance, evaluating the Eurocentric gaze of the
civilisation-barbarity dichotomy, and elucidates the international
legal arguments of both advocates and opponents of intervention, as
well as the views of major political theorists. It then goes on to
examine four cases as humanitarian interventions: the Greek War of
Independence (1821-31), the Lebanon and Syria (1860-61), the
Bulgarian atrocities (1876-78), and the U.S. intervention in Cuba
(1895-98). -- .

will be of benefit to scholars and students of International
Relations, international history, international law and
international political theory. -- .
