Description - International Intervention in the Balkans Since 1995 by Peter Siani-Davies
How beneficial has international intervention been for the Balkans and what are the lessons to be learned from it? In 1999 NATO fought against Yugoslavia, the organisation's first ever war; Bosnia and Kosovo are effectively international protectorates and intervention has increased in Macedonia since the 2001 conflict. In spite of new strategies, which seem to offer long-term prospects of eventual integration into wider European structures, the international presence in the Balkans seems set to persist for some time to come. This inter-disciplinary study offers an analysis of the activities of the international community in the Balkans since the 1995 Dayton Agreement. The equivocal consequences of international intervention mean that there is a need for serious reassessment of policies and a careful analysis of past successes and failures. The authors collected here provide this analysis by examining intervention, not just in terms of military action and the activities of major international agencies at state level, but also the activities of outside NGOs within the local environment.
The volume includes contributions from both academics and practitioners, and contains in-depth case studies of international intervention in Kosovo, the former Yugoslavia and the Miloevic regime, Bosnia-Hercegovina and Macedonia.
