Presented here are the views of experts and intellectuals from

Focusing scholarly attention on a little known area of Europe, the
book brings together analysts with an insider's view to examine the
short and long-term challenges facing the region, the intricate
relationship between politics and economics and the irrelevance of
quick fixes in the postwar reform of Southeast Europe.
This text analyzes the foreign policies of EU Mediterranean states
and applicants in the context of wider EU Mediterranean relations.
It provides a comparative analysis of current members and applicant
Mediterranean states in the 1990s at a time when EU processes of
enlargement and integration raise fundamental needs to define
interests of the EU in its Southern and Eastern relationships.
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.
