Suffering and Evil
Infinite Justice
The article sets out from the idea that it might be interesting and helpful to look at emerging international judicial institutions in terms of implicit religion, which exemplify the human search for transcendent justice. This possibility is explored in relation to the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia. The problems attending such institutions are reviewed, suggesting that they must inevitably fail to meet our expectations…

International Tourism
International Tourism and the Appropriation of History in the Balkans
Kosovo
One of the characteristics acknowledged by anthropologists as typical of peasant societies is the problematic relationship between ‘high’ and ‘low’ culture. This lies at the heart of the definition advanced by Alfred Kroeber to the effect that peasantries constitute ‘part societies with part cultures’ (Kroeber 1963: 92). What is indicated by this is that peasant cultures can not be understood as closed systems which are clearly demarcated from ot…

Yugoslavia's Security Dilemmas
Tourism as a Sacred Journey
The paper sets out to explore the idea that tourism in modern societies can be interpreted as posessing certain quasi-religious characteristics. The general interest and utility of this approach is acknowledged; but the particular notion of religion which has come to be employed in the literature is challenged. The work of Dean MacCannell and Donald Horne is taken as representative of the way in which the religious metaphor is used in the study o…
Yugoslavia's tourist trade pot of gold or pig in a poke
Waiting for Gojko
The sociological and anthropological literature dealing with the social and cultural effects of tourism not uncommonly refers to its adverse effects; and among these is a tendency to create and reinforce patterns of deference on the part of the 'host' population towards the foreign 'guests'. The author's personal observations suggest that this expectation is not typically met in the case of Yugoslavia. An informal interactionist analysis of the Y…
Tourism and social change in Dalmatia
Some general problems relating to the role of tourism in social and economic change are raised through an examination of the case of Yugoslavia. A brief overview of the economic history of the eastern Adriatic littoral is provided, and the expansion of tourism in the post‐war years is decribed. Examining the changes associated with the growth of tourism, particular attention is given to the reorientation of the system of communications and to cha…

Populism
Within the past ten years the vocabulary of political sociology has been augmented by the addition of the word 'populism'. Its general acceptance has yet to be achieved; but in the past five years its use has spread enormously. The purpose of the paper is to provide a brief 'biography' of the concept of 'populism', examining the changing way in which the word has come to be used in its lifetime. It is argued that the confusion which has attended …
