Structural Origins Of Post Yugoslav Regimes

"This book offers a comparative study of minority-majority relations in post-conflict societies. Drawing on three contentious cases - Bulgaria, Croatia, and Montenegro - it explores how pluralist governance structures are established in minority rights regimes in new EU member and candidate states and how reform resilience is ensured. The author shows the importance of the compromise between minority and majority elites in democratizing countries by developing a comparative analysis of three understudied cases in the Balkans region. The book offers a conceptual framework drawing on extensive field research data. Of great interest to both scholars and practitioners alike, this book identifies transferable policy lessons of interest to a global audience and specifies under which conditions substantial reforms should be carried out. It will appeal to a broad audience of students interested in international politics, European studies, state-mandated displacement, and ethnic studies"--
