Editorial Reviews

Presents 80 contributions on the origins of the Balkans crisis, the reasons for the decay and dissolution of the old Yugoslavia, the nature of the new regimes, and the prospects for the building of viable successor states and societies. Three main sections look at the reason for the fall of post-Titoist Yugloslavia and the degeneration of the communist party; key regions and actors which continue to provide focal points of instability; and each emerging independent state in terms of the stability of their government and relationships with each other and the outside world.
