Expertise and policy influence during international transition
Can We Learn from Yugoslavia
Liquid Nationalism and State Partitions in Europe is Stefano Bianchini’s magnum opus , reflecting a lifetime of working on the issues of ethno-nationalism in Europe, from Southeast Europe through Central Europe and the former Soviet space to all of western Europe. It is more than a book; it is an entire seminar, ranging not only geographically but also historically, from the Enlightenment to the second decade of the 21 st century. Simply a list o…

Redrawing Borders in a Period of Systemic Transition
The Ideology of Failed States
What do we mean when we use the term 'failed states'? This book presents the origins of the term, how it shaped the conceptual framework for international development and security in the post-Cold War era, and why. The book also questions how specific international interventions on both aid and security fronts - greatly varied by actor - based on these outsiders' perceptions of state failure create conditions that fit their characterizations of f…
Ideology of Failed States
Europe and the collapse of Yugoslavia
Branislav Radeljic (London: I.B. Tauris, 2012), xii+255 pp Can any study on the collapse of Yugoslavia add anything new at this point? Radeljic's question, the influence of non-state actors on the
The long intervention
Great Power intervention in the Balkans since the late nineteenth century shows a striking continuity in motivations, methods, and consequences. The article proposes that current intervention practices are largely a response to the Balkan theatre in the 1990s and thus institutionalise this continuity more than arguments about normative and institutional change since 1990 suggest. Three continuities are emphasised: the concept of a ‘turbulent fron…
Can We Measure Legitimacy
Introduction
The academic literature on state-building has focused largely on actual policies and practices and how to understand its challenges and improve on practice. Particularly salient recently is the relation between external actors and local resistance. In its course, this literature and its practitioners are implicitly developing a field of scholarly study, as a community of researchers focusing on post-conflict countries and asking a set of question…
Shifts in Global Security Policies
The global security order has been evolving since 1989, led initially by the USA to expand its post?1945 order in Europe to the rest of the world but propelled as well by competition and debates within that post?Second World War alliance, as collective victors in the Cold War, about how to define a new international order. This article identifies three US policies that began this restructuring; their parallel redefinitions of security, and the te…
Do the Root Causes of Civil War Matter? On Using Knowledge to Improve Peacebuilding Interventions
The normative and practical success of the 1990s campaign on the right and responsibility to intervene to stop civil wars should be acknowledged so that policy and research can move on to the more pressing question of how we intervene and improve on currently inadequate results. This essay confronts a standard explanation, the failure to address the root causes of a conflict. It argues from academic research on three aspects – the knowledge on ca…

Does Kosovoʹs Status Matter? On the International Management of Statehood
The paper addresses three separate questions: the consequence of policies to manage the Kosovo question since September 1991; current alternatives and prospects in the definition of status, and recommendations for a policy of post-status transition. The current Proposal for a Kosovo Status Settlement is based on a set of compromises that could make the situation even more uncertain and make a solution difficult to reach. The article argues that t…

Construire l'État
National versus International Legitimacy in State Building Operations As illustrated by the example of Bosnia-Herzegovina, the critical relationship on which a state's internal legitimacy is based – i.e. that between political leaders, government officials, and citizens – is not taken into account in the strategies designed by donors and international organizations to assist the process of state-building. As a practical matter, this relationship …
Economic aid to post-conflict countries
In the past five years, research sponsored by the World Bank on the economic aspects of civil warFootnote1 under the research directorship of Oxford economist Paul Collier has had an extraordinary influence on the subsequent study of violent conflict and civil war and on international policy. The research project has now turned its attention to the problem of countries emerging from civil war and what Collier and his co-author, Anke Hoeffler, cal…
Enhancing cooperation against transborder crime in Southeast Europe
The new international security agenda linking common interests across states and international organizations in the relations among conflict, development and security has focused in southeast Europe on transborder organized crime. The number of activities and interested actors is huge, but their agenda is driven by politics and policy, not by knowledge and research. This article asks whether there is also a potential ‘epistemic community’ (‘netwo…
Ending Civil Wars
Humanitarian War
The NATO bombing operation 'Allied Force' against Yugoslavia in March-June 1999 represents the final disappearance of the narrowing divide between humanitarianism and politics: a war initiated and justified on humanitarian grounds. Although unlikely to be repeated any time soon, the Kosovo case appears to have cemented an ideological shift on the international right and even necessity of using military force to protect civilians within sovereign …
Should We Think Before We Leap
A European "New Deal" for the Balkans
around in Western policy toward southeastern Europe. With Yugoslav security forces out of Kosovo and the inauguration of the European Union's Stability Pact at the Sarajevo summit of July 30, committing the eu to eventual acceptance of the area's states as members, Western publics are being told that the path has been laid for resolving the decade-long crisis in the Balkans. But nothing could be further from the truth
Understanding the Balkan Breakup
Socialist Unemployment
This political analysis of unemployment in a socialist country argues that the Yugoslavian conflict stems not so much from ancient ethnic hatreds, as from the political and social divisons created by a failed socialist programme to prevent capitalist joblessness. Under communism, the concept of socialist unemployment was considered an oxymoron; when it appeared in postwar Yugoslavia, it was dismissed as illusory or as a transitory consequence of …
Genocide or Partition
Robert Hayden is not alone in wondering why the expulsion of Serbs from Croatia in 1991 and 1995 was labeled a population transfer and even justified by the logic of nation-states, while the expulsion of Muslims by Serbs in 1992-96 from an area of Bosnia and Herzegovina that the Serbs claim for their state was labeled genocide and justified establishing an international war crimes tribunal. Hayden wants to protect the term genocide, and its legal…
Balkan tragedy
Yugoslavia was well positioned at the end of the cold war to make a successful transition to a market economy and westernization. Yet two years later, the country had ceased to exist, and devastating local wars were being waged to create new states. Between the fall of the Berlin Wall in November 1989 and the start of the war in Bosnia-Herzegovina in March 1992, the country moved toward disintegration at astonishing speed. In this book, Susan Woo…

Should We Think Before We Leap
Orthodoxy and solidarity
Yugoslav policies of domestic adjustment to world economic changes during 1973–85 are the result of two sets of constraints imposed by the strategy of the ruling communist party for retaining its power:(1) an open international strategy for economic growth and national autonomy, chosen in the 1940s, that includes extensive use of foreign capital resources, and (2) the coalition of competing political and economic interests gathered within the par…

The Freedom of the People is in its Private Life
From Revolution to Post-Revolution
This review of eight recently published works on Yugoslavia suggests that although information about the country is constantly increasing, the conceptual approach of social scientists continues to limit our understanding of its politics. Focusing on a variety of problems of interpretation that arise out of the concept of ideology in each work, the author offers alternative interpretations of Yugoslav politics and assesses the current state of our…

Reforming a Socialist State
Studies of state institutions in socialist countries demonstrate the inadequacy of current paradigms of the state. Political reforms within these states—like those examined in the works on Yugoslavia that are under review—present opportunities to develop new approaches. Arguments about the democratizing pressures of economic reform or the attempts to legitimize the state by resolving the national question are contrasted to a view of the state as …
