This text argues that the media have reduced the world to a collective voyeur passively watching, monitoring, and observing crimes against humanity in former Yugoslavia. The Balkan war has produced the Balkanization of the West with the Western powers seemingly paralyzed by internecine warfare.

This book explores how ‘balkanization’ as a discourse underpins the policies of the European Union (EU) and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) toward the Western Balkans. It shows how EU and NATO policies have emerged from, and led to, the constant reinvention of the unity of the West through ‘balkanizing’ the region and illustrates how this dynamic is maintained by and instrumentalized for the political elites. Through a genealogical analysis that stretches from the Balkans Wars to more recent events such as North Macedonia’s change of name in 2018, the author shows how Western policies have aimed at recreating the united West on the back of the ‘broken’ Balkans. The book will appeal to scholars and students of Southeast Europe, International Relations, Political Science, Peace and Conflict Studies and History.

The aim of this thesis is to explore how 'balkanization' underpins policies of the EU and NATO towards the (Western) Balkans. As a discourse which mediates between the Euro-Atlantic processes of the (Western) Balkans as foreign policy on one hand and the identity of the (Western) Balkans on the other, 'balkanization' constructs a disintegrated (Western) Balkan 'other' who stands juxtapositionally to the Western 'self'. By asking the central question - How does 'balkanization' shape the Euro-Atlantic processes of the (Western) Balkans, and vice versa? - this thesis expands on an understanding of EU and NATO policies towards the (Western) Balkans as shaping and being shaped by ideas of 'selves' and 'others'. This dissertation relies on a poststructuralist theory and method of identity and foreign policy for bringing out the empirical complexity of identity construction. It presents with an analysis of texts from the West and the (Western) Balkans. Though the main period under study covers post-Yugoslav events from (North) Macedonia's independence in 1991 to its change of name in 2018, the discourse is traced genealogically back to its World War I roots, showing in this way how current Euro-Atlantic processes are underpinned by older articulations of identity. The analysis focuses on two (Western) Balkan countries: (North) Macedonia and Serbia. This dissertation shows how EU and NATO policies towards the (Western) Balkans being underpinned by 'balkanization' have emerged from and led to the constant reinvention of the unity of the West through 'balkanizing' the (Western) Balkans. The study further illustrates how this dynamic is maintained by and instrumentalized for the political elites. It argues that the Euro-Atlantic processes of the (Western) Balkans though seemingly aimed at uprooting them from their shameful past into a brighter future within the EU and NATO, instead trap the (Western) Balkans into old articulations of their identity as 'balkanized' for this serves the united West and the political elites.

The paper will focus on the trajectories the Western Balkans went after '90s, moving from a Balkanizations paradigm towards an Europeanization one. Although it is acknowledged that the transformations have been sometimes running in parallel and that there is no clear-cut of when a process ends and when the other starts, I will propose - for analytical reasons - three main stages to look at the Western Balkans; that of nation- and state-building (the 'last Balkanization'), the (delay) transition and the (pre-) Europeanization process, conceptualizing so the many transformations in the region as 'multiple stages'. What this categorization in separate stages can be of use is to suggest which of the processes has been dominant at a certain moment and what characteristics and causalities can be attach to each of them. In the first part I investigate what I will call the 'last Balkanization' stage, a period that is characterized by nation and state building process with its main problems being the dissolution and disorder in the Western Balkans. Here I take a path-dependency approach arguing that the old-type of state-citizens relations are the main reason that led these countries towards disorder and dissolution. As a next stage I speak of a 'delay transition' that the Western Balkans experienced (at least in comparison with CEECs) this is partly because of the different modes of communism the two regions experienced and partly because of political elites' role. Here I argue that the Western Balkan has suffered from an institutional incapacity impeding them to build a liberal democracy and be oriented toward a market economy. As the last part I will focus on the 'pre-Europeanization' stage that the Western Balkans has entered where institution and policy reforming (adapting to EU) is and will be the consequence of the conditionality resulting from the EU association and accession perspective of these countries.

"Balkanization" is a modern term describing the fragmentation and re-division of countries and nations in the Balkan Peninsula, as well as a dynamic meaning "the Balkan way of doing things." The Roots of Balkanization describes the historical changes that took place in the Balkan Peninsula after the collapse of the Roman Empire and their impact in Eastern lands. It develops conclusions reached in the author's previous book, Dacia: Land of Transylvania, Cornerstone of Ancient Eastern Europe, covering 500 B.C.-A.D. 500. Balkan multi-ethnicity was formed after the fifth century, when barbarian invaders settled and violently mixed with the native ancient nations. By the use of sword and terror, warlords became kings and their confederations of tribes became state nations. New societies emerged under the blessing of the Orthodox Church, only to fight against each other over disputed land that eventually came to be occupied by other invaders. The involvement of western powers and the Ottoman expansion triggered more grievances and violence, culminating with the fall of Constantinople in 1453 and the end of the Byzantine Empire. The medieval culture of the Balkans survived and continues to play a major role in how business and political life is conducted today in Eastern Europe. Book jacket.

This dissertation examines the overlapping set of economic, political and cultural legacies of West Africa and Yugoslavia in the 20th century through the lens of the 19th century territorial partitions enacted in imperial Europe. As a result of the Berlin Congress of 1878, which capriciously partitioned the Balkan territories into various states and imperial holdings, and the Berlin Conference of 1884, which incited the bloodthirsty "Scramble for Africa" and the colonial occupation required to sustain it, the culturally and geographically disparate entities of West Africa and the Balkans confront an expansionist and imperially aggressive Europe at nearly the same time. Seeking to properly provincialize Europe in this discussion by focusing on the spaces of partition themselves, compared on the basis of this historical encounter, this dissertation theorizes a multi-disciplinary concept of balkanization: a system of techniques of imperial control that precipitated a cultural response of resistance in the spaces of partition in the mid-twentieth century. Drawing on postcolonial, African and Slavic studies, world literature, political science and history, the theory of balkanization responds to the global remapping of two annihilative world wars and explains the subsequent ethnic and nationalist violence that characterized the waning years of the century in these disparate places. The literary extension of balkanization is explored through comparisons of two narrative genres, the travelogue and the chronicle novel, that encode the spatial and temporal dimensions of partition before and after WWII. Rebecca West's travelogue Black Lamb and Grey Falcon (1941) is analyzed next to Ivo Andrić's chronicle-novel Bridge on the Drina (1945) to discuss the pre-WWII cultural and political dynamics of balkanization in Yugoslavia. Next, an investigation of In Black and White (1962), a travelogue by Oskar Davičo written at the birth of the Non-Aligned Movement, is juxtaposed with with Ayi Kwei Armah's apocalyptic chronicle Two Thousand Seasons (1973). These texts elaborate the limits of unity in a balkanized world in terms of culture, economics, race, and ultimately history, whose nearly monolithic violence beckons the end of time and the need for renewal or regeneration, such that balkanization forms the basis of historical inquiry into the very conditions of the present.
