Book Description
In the aftermath of four Yugoslav wars, ongoing efforts at reconstruction in South Eastern Europe have devoted relatively limited attention to dimensions of human security that enhance protections for the region's most vulnerable populations in their daily lives. It is in this context that South Eastern Europe, and especially the Western Balkan region, has emerged as a nexus point in human trafficking.Human Trafficking, Human Security, and the Balkans brings together leading scholars, NGO representatives, and government officials to analyze and offer solutions to this challenge. The contributors explore the economic dynamics of human trafficking in an era of globalization, which has greatly facilitated not only the flow of goods and services but also the trade in human beings. They also examine the effectiveness of international and transnational policies and practice, the impact of peacekeeping forces, and the emergence of national and regional action plans in the Western Balkans and, more broadly, in South Eastern Europe. Finally, they consider the nature and ramifications of the gap between human security rhetoric and institutional policy steps against human trafficking.

Book Description
Since 1992, the international community has responded to a series of armed conflicts in the Balkans region by establishing numerous, complex, mil. and civilian peace operations there. This report provides an analysis of Balkans security issues. It discusses: (1) the current security situation in the Balkans, particularly in Kosovo and Bosnia; (2) the projected security in the region over the next 5 years; and (3) factors in the decision to withdraw Yugoslav security forces from Kosovo. Also describes how the executive branch has defined U.S. interests in the region in the National Security Strategy and public statements. This report summarizes the contents of those briefings.

Book Description
This book outlines the main security threats, actors, and processes in the Western Balkans following the dissolution of Yugoslavia. Exploring the state of peace and security in the region it asks if a stable peace is achievable.

Book Description
"Ben Shepherd ... uses Austro-Hungarian Army records to consider how the personal experiences of many Austrian officers during the Great War played a role in brutalizing their behavior in Yugoslavia. A comparison of Wehrmacht counter-insurgency divisions allows Shepherd to analyze how a range of midlevel commanders and their units conducted themselves in different parts of Yugoslavia, and why"--Jacket.

Book Description
This important text offers a full and detailed account of how to use discourse analysis to study foreign policy. It provides a poststructuralist theory of the relationship between identity and foreign policy and an in-depth discussion of the methodology of discourse analysis. Part I offers a detailed discussion of the concept of identity, the intertextual relationship between official foreign policy discourse and oppositional and media discourses and of the importance of genres for authors' ability to establish themselves as having authority and knowledge. Lene Hansen devotes particular attention to methodology and provides explicit directions for how to build discourse analytical research designs Part II applies discourse analytical theory and methodology in a detailed analysis of the Western debate on the Bosnian war. This analysis includes a historical genealogy of the Western construction of the Balkans as well as readings of the official British and American policies, the debate in the House of Commons and the US Senate, Western media representations, academic debates and travel writing and autobiography. Providing an introduction to discourse analysis and critical perspectives on international relations, this book will be essential reading for students and scholars of international relations, discourse analysis and research methodology.

Book Description
Known historically as "the powder keg of Europe", the Balkans have been a dynamic and dangerous place. The region is ethnically diverse, a situation which in other cases could have been a boon to a region. Instead, the Balkans have been the site of extensively damaging upheaval, as individual nationalities (Slavs, Serbs, Croats, etc.) have risen up against the governments. This book assembles a collection of papers exploring and explaining some of the most pertinent and vexing issues facing the Balkans today. Each issue and nation discussed here now has and will continue to have a lasting impact on the wider European and global communities. In the current international climate highlighting national security and the war on terror, the instability of south-eastern Europe has taken on added significance. The questions of NATO and UN involvement in regional hotspots like Kosovo is a constant debate, as is the need to encourage economic growth across the region. Anyone hoping to remain at the forefront of the major issues facing the Balkans and Europe needs to be familiar with the information analysed in this book.
