Abstract:
Examining two centuries of Balkan politics, from the emergence of nationalism to the retreat of Communist power in 1989, this is the first book to systematically argue that many of the region's problems are external in origin.A decade of instability in the Balkan states of southeast Europe has given the region one of the worst images in world politics.

This new text assesses the key issues of Balkan poli.
