Balkan Security: Visions of the Future


After a decade of turbulence and war the search for sustainable security
in the Balkans remains a major concern not only for the inhabitants of
the region but also for the wider outside world. Recently, much attention
has been focussed on outside intervention and economic reconstruction but
in themselves these will not be sufficient to ensure the long-term
security of the region. Less attention has been paid to how the states
and peoples of the region perceive their own security needs and whether
security policies that are increasingly made at a global level really
reflect local concerns. This conference will attempt to explore these
issues by focussing on two key interrelated questions: 'what does
security mean in a Balkan context' and 'how is sustainable security in
the region to be achieved'?

Over recent years the concept of security has been redefined to encompass
the wider needs of what has been termed 'societal security'. In an
interdependent world economic, social and environmental issues are now
seen as being the equal of military might in assessing vulnerabilities,
the likelihood of confrontation and the security needs of a given state.
Critical security studies have also deepened the concept of security to
embrace the individual and group alongside the state within a wider
understanding of stable security as a process of emancipation from
threats and fears. Yet, despite the widespread acceptance of these
expanded notions of security, significant questions remain unanswered as
to how this theoretical modeling is to be linked to practical security on
the ground. A prime aim of this conference will be to explore the linkage
between the theoretical and the practical in a Balkan context.

The Yugoslav wars mean that until now security in the Balkans has usually
been viewed in more traditional, military, terms but with the ending of
the conflict in Kosovo this would now seem to be an appropriate time to
undertake a reassessment. The conference will consider how the states of
the region and people who inhabit them assess their own security needs at
the dawn of the twenty-first century. Are the security concerns of the
past likely to dominate the future? How will security agendas that still
mostly reflect the concerns of the state meet group and individual needs?
The attention of Balkan policy makers is increasingly shifting towards
issues such as organised crime, cross border trafficking, immigration and
environmental pollution, as well as the defence of national identity,
with one national security doctrine within the region even giving special
emphasis to 'cybernetic war'. What does this shift mean in practical
security terms?

The conference will also consider how security might be fostered in the
Balkans at the individual, group, state and regional level. Security
studies have traditionally focussed at the state and interstate level yet
many initiatives in the Balkans are being implemented at the community
level. What is to be the relationship between state and group and
individual security, between global and local initiatives? Are low-level
initiatives going to create a sustainable security environment or can
this only be produced at an interstate or regional level? Are the hopes
for large-scale group reconciliation after so much conflict realistic?
Large areas of the Balkans are now under the supervision of international
mandates. Will such international intervention lay the ground for a
sustainable security environment in the Balkans, or, are initiatives from
what has grown to be a veritable peacekeeping industry merely
substituting local structures? How are global initiatives to achieve
local resonance? Can regionally based initiatives mediate? What form are
such initiatives likely to take?

Although much attention will inevitably be paid to Albania, Macedonia,
Bosnia-Herzegovina and Yugoslavia, in particular Kosovo, we wish also to
encourage papers considering other countries in the region and in
particular those which offer a comparative or a theoretical approach.

The conference, which is the second of the annual international
conferences in South-East European Studies organised by the Centre for
South-East European Studies, will be held on the 16-17 June 1999 at the
School of Slavonic and East European Studies, University College London.
The organisers are particularly keen in attracting the widest possible
participation from academics, policy makers, and members of the media, as
well as people involved in security issues on the ground, and invite
proposals for papers of no more than 100 words.

The proceedings of the conference will be published in book form.
Participants are asked to prepare their contributions for advanced
distribution (both electronic and hard copy). Participants will have 20
minutes to deliver their papers; discussion will follow. The selection of
papers will be the responsibility of the conference board. The conference
language is English. Young scholars are particularly encouraged to submit
proposals. Limited funding may be available for travel and accommodation
with priority given to scholars coming from the Balkans. The deadline for
proposals is 31 March 2000.

the time. At the same time, in cooperation with a woman NGO, I began
publishing
the magazine "Me, the Woman," the first of its kind in Albania. In January

DOCUMENTS ON CHAMERIA
1912-1939
Collected and introduced by Dr. Kaliopi Naska
In original: DOKUMENTE PER CAMERINE

Publisher "Dituria Publishing House", with the
assistance of
the General Directorate of Albanian Archives
Tirana, 1999
ISBN 99927-31-69-9
Pages 743


The book contains 391 archival documents of the
Albanian administration, of various international
organizations, by representatives of the people of
Chameria and other Albanian territories.  Ninety
percent of the documents are published for the first
time.

The documents are in Albanian, and many in French,
English and a few in Greek.  The book includes a
geographical, name and subject matter index.

Chameria is the region assigned to Greece in the
London Conference of Ambassadors of 1913.  This
publication reflects the efforts of the Chameria
people and those of the Albanian state to protect the
human rights of the Chams during the period from
Albania's independence in 1912 up to her occupation by
Italy in 1939.

The book fills a vacuum in the field of the
Albanian-Greek diplomatic relations as well as the
history, ethnicity, anthropology, customs, laws,
folklore, and other features  of the region.

  Framework Programme

  The Institute of International and Social Studies
  (IISS) in Tallinn, Estonia is looking for
  international cooperation partners to prepare a joint
  application within the EU Fifth Framework Programme
  (the Second Call). The proposed research project will
  focus on the issues of multiculturalism and national

  comparative aspect can be included) in the
perspective
  of ongoing EU enlargement.

  The IISS is one of the biggest social science
research
  institutes in Estonia (for more information see
  http://www.gaia.ee/iiss). We have been doing research
  on nationalism, multiculturalism and national
  integration issues over the last ten years. Currently
  we are engaged in a long-term state-financed project
  on monitoring of national integration processes in
  Estonian society.

  The proposed research project will be situated under
  the Research Task  Governance, Citizenship and the
  Dynamics of European Integration . Please contact us
  by email (vetik@...) or by fax (37 26 454927).
  Deadline for the application is April 28, 2000.

FULBRIGHT AEGEAN INITIATIVE IN GREECE AND TURKEY for 2001-2002
The Fulbright Aegean Initiative was announced by President Clinton in
November 1999, during his visit to Greece and Turkey. This new lecturing
program is designed to promote mutual understanding through the stimulation
of contacts and collaborations between scholars and professionals from the
two countries.
US faculty and professionals are invited to submit proposals for lecturing
projects that would encourage collaborative thinking and cooperative
activities. Areas of potential interest include, but are not limited to,
regional economic development, disaster management and emergency
preparedness, environmental protection and advocacy, ecotourism, tourism
development and management. Although applications in any field will be
considered, preference is for proposals in the social sciences and
professional fields other than the hard sciences
The Fulbright Aegean Initiative scholar will divide his/her time equally
between Greece and Turkey lecturing and/or conducting seminars at one or
more institutions in an area of specialization relevant to both countries.
The scholar will lead a special seminar on a related topic for selected
participants from both countries. The seminar will be hosted by either
the Fulbright Foundation in Athens or the Fulbright Commission in Ankara.
Institutional affiliation will be arranged by the host countries, although
applicant may express a preference. Grant duration is for three-four months
between October and May. Up to two grants will be awarded. There is no
language requirement.

New book announcement from Hurst - New book announcement from Hurst -

THE BALKANS SINCE 1453

L.S. Stavrianos

With a new introduction by Traian Stoianovich

'Virtually every scholar and teacher of Balkan history and
civilization today began training with Stavrianos's seminal work, The
Balkans since 1453(Holt Rinehart,1963).  Not only was it the
principal work of synthesis for several decades (in a field which
sorely lacked synthesis) but more significantly, it was, and remains,
of considerable value because of its extensive coverage, clear
organization, depth of analysis and readability.
    Stavrianos, who devoted nearly a decade to the project, defined
two objectives in writing this book. First, he intended to synthesize
the existing monographic and periodical literature on Balkan topics
since the First World War, and second, he hoped to demonstrate the
general importance of Balkan history by examining it in the context
of European and world history.  Not only did he accomplish his
objectives with style and insight but, by identifying gaps in the
scholarship, helped to shape much of the subsequent research in the
field.
    The book, divided into six parts, covers the immense period from
the Ottoman conquest to the aftermath of the Second World War.  It
begins with historical background, considers the rise and fall of the
Ottoman Empire, the age of nationalism in the Balkans, the age of
imperialism, and the age of crisis and war from 1914 to 1947.
Stavrianos combines the imperial and local approaches, providing the
reader with national histories, as well as a view of the Balkans in
the larger context.  He concludes with an extensive annotated
bibliography.
    While other fine works of synthesis have been produced since
Stavrianos wrote 'The Balkans since 1453', his book has not only
stood the test of time but remains the defining general work in the
study of Balkan civilisation.  Those who grew up with this book
enthusiastically applaud its reissue and warmly recommend it to the
new generation of Balkan students.'

(Dr Bernd J. Fischer, University of Indiana)

Until his retirement L.S. STAVRIANOS was Professor of History at
Northwestern University, Chicago.
He is the author of numerous articles and more than twenty books,
including Global History (Prentice Hall, 8th edn, 1999).  A noted
historian of the Balkans, Traian Stoianovich is Professor of History
at Rutgers University, New Jersey.

CLARK UNIVERSITY—Worcester, Massachusetts
invites you to attend the Biennial Seymour M. Logan conference
LIVING WITH THE BEAST: EVERYDAY LIFE IN AUTHORITARIAN SERBIA
to be held Friday, 7 April 2000
at Lasry House (corner of Woodland and Hawthorne streets)
The title of the conference is a phrase by the Belgrade philosopher and
antiwar activist Radomir Kostantinovic. His essay introduced the book
Another Serbia, a collection by the antiwar "Belgrade Circle" which
seeks to describe and analyze the political, social, cultural and
historical conditions that made aggressive nationalism and war against
civilians possible. This conference explores the experience of everyday
life in the regimes under which war and state-sponsored mass murder was
carried out in the former Yugoslavia. It is meant to introduce the
audience to the self-examination being carried out by some scholars in
both Serbia and North America, which interrogates ethnic nationalism in
power, its values and methods, and its causes and consequences.
We are motivated by the need to understand nationalist mobilization and
the acceptance of crimes against humanity as an element of state policy.
We need to move beyond viewing the conflicts in the former Yugoslavia as
ethnic or religious conflicts, the way they are commonly presented—and
to explore them as conflicts between nationalist rural nostalgia and
cosmopolitan urban culture, between the ethic of modernity and the
frustration of displacement. The presentations here are meant to
contribute to a new understanding of` connections between culture,
authoritarianism and state-sanctioned violence.
CONFERENCE PROGRAM
10:00 ? 10:10 AM
Welcome: Shelly Tenenbaum (Clark University), Eric Gordy (Clark

A NEW PUBLICATION OF ALBANIAN INSTITUTE FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDIES


Dissolution of Yugoslavia and the case of Kosova

By Enver Hasani



Dissolution of Yugoslavia and the case of Kosova - the latest publication of
the Albanian Institute for International Studies.

The Albanian Institute for International Studies has just produced its latest
publication: "Dissolution of Yugoslavia and the case of Kosova" by Enver
Hasani.
The book explores the causes leading to Yugoslavia's disintegration and
describes the tragic aftermath of its bloody break-up.

The author undertakes a thorough analysis of the centrifugal processes, thus
shedding light on the genesis of the violent disruption. The author also
reflects on the reaction of the International Community at the Hague Peace
Conference and goes on with an analysis of the criteria for recognition of the
newly independent states in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union.

The process is further complemented with a detailed analysis of the Kosova
case
highlighting the London Conference on former Yugoslavia, the Banditer
Commission, the right to self-determination and the Kosova case.

Whether Kosova had received authority to self-determination, or had the London
Conference failed, are some of the questions answered in this book
following up
with an exploration of the perspectives of the Dayton Agreement on the Kosova
issue.

The book relies on extensive literature on international relations as well as
on the various contributions about the last decade developments in the
Balkans.


Enver Hasani, a former professor of international law at the Prishtina
University, received his Ph.D. on international relations at the Bilkent
University in Ankara, Turkey. A member of the leading Board of the Albanian
Institute on International Studies, the author appears regularly in
international journals. Enver Hasani was on the Albanian delegation at the
Rambouillet Conference as an expert on international law.

The first complete analysis on the Yugoslav disintegration and the Kosova case
by an Albanian scholar, the book is primarily meant for scholars and academic
institutions such as the Academy of Sciences; research policy centers; media
specializing on international relations; the press at large, but also for the
wide public. While the Albanian version was made available earlier, the
English
version has just come out of press.

prepayment

Subject:      FYI: New discussion list on forced migration
To: H-SAE@...

Dear Colleagues

I should like to invite you to join a new discussion list on the
internet entitled "forced-migration-history".

This list is devoted to the exchange of ideas and information on
historical aspects of forced migration, population displacements,
resettlement and related themes (refugee welfare, diaspora politics, the
construction of identity, urbanisation, nationalism, state-building,
etc.). The list is concerned primarily with twentieth century Europe,
including the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union, but we would
welcome all contributions from those engaged in studying other times
or places.

If you should like to subscribe, please send an e-mail to:

CEPS has just published Working Document 142, Notes on the Economy of
Montenegro, edited by Daniel Gros and Nicholas Whyte.

CEPS has been closely involved in Montenegro in recent months, and advised the
government of President Milo Djukanovic to adopt the DM/euro
as a legal currency in November 1999, in order to avoid economic destabilisation
driven by the Milosevic regime's devaluation of the Yugoslav dinar. This novel
monetary reform has been a success, but now financial aid is needed from the
outside to support continuation of the
reform efforts and keep living standards in Montenegro at an acceptable minimum
in the face of the economic blockade imposed by Serbia.

The new CEPS publication describes an aid programme which would consist of:
-20 million in the form of an emergency loan to support reforms,
-15 million in grants for social programmes in 2000, and
-6.5 million for urgent repair projects on vital infrastructure that can be
implemented during 2000.

ECOFIN currently takes the position that macrofinancial aid to Montenegro is not
possible because Montenegro is not a member of the IMF
and that the use of funds cannot be controlled. CEPS does not accept this
argument. Membership of the IMF is not a legal precondition for
receiving macrofinancial assistance from the EU. And the Montenegrin government
is prepared to cooperate fully with any necessary provisions
for monitoring the disbursement of aid.

The new CEPS publication also includes data on Montenegro's budget, banking
system, GDP and balance of payments. Contributing authors,
besides Daniel Gros, include Wolfgang Hager of CEPS, Gérard Duchêne of the
University of Paris, Franziska Schobert of the University of
Frankfurt and Boris Najman of the DELTA research unit in Paris.

CEPS Working Document 142 is available from me electronically (466 kilobytes, 50
pages) or on paper from CEPS Publications Department,
email rozi-@..., for 12 euros.
