Balkans into Southeastern Europe: A Century of War and Transition

Balkans into Southeastern Europe: A Century of War and Transition by Lampe, John R.. Paperback edition. ISBN: 9780333793473.

The bloody break-up of the former Yugoslavia and the regions wider struggles with a post-Communist transition suggest continuing Balkan burdens for the peoples and states of Southeastern Europe. Ethnic conflict, disputed borders, forced migration and foreign intervention had already scarred the countries from Romania south to Greece during the decades surrounding the two world wars. John Lampe disputes this pejoratively Balkan background. He traces the regions traumatic twentieth century through wars and postwar transitions that adopted or confronted European ideologies, institutions and interventions.
