Kosovo
Kosovo: The Politics of Identity and Space explores the Albanian-Serbian confrontation after Slobodan Milosevic's rise to power and the policy of repression in Kosovo through the lens of the Kosovo education system. The argument is woven around the story of imposed ethnic segregation in Kosovo's education, and its impact on the emergence of exclusive notions of nation and homeland among the Serbian and Albanian youth in the 1990s. The book also critically explores the wider context of the Albanian non-violent resistance, including the emergence of the parallel state and its weaknesses. Kosovo: The Politics of Identity and Space not only provides an insight into events that led to the bloodshed in Kosovo in the late 1990s, but also shows that the legacy of segregation is one of the major challenges the international community faces in its efforts to establish an integrated multi-ethnic society in the territory.
Russia and the West
This comprehensive exploration of the new international environment examines not only traditional political-military concerns but also economic, ethnic, and other factors in the security environment of Russia and its neighbors to the west, (Vol. 1), south (Vol. 2), and east (Vol. 3).

International authors participate in considering each problem from all relevant points of view.

The participation of international authors facilitates the consideration of each problem from all relevant points of view.

Bosnia the Good
An indictment of the partition of Bosnia-Herzegovina, formalized in 1995 by the Dayton Accord. The war in Bosnia divided and shook the country to its foundations, but the author argues it could become a model for European progress. The greatest danger for Bosnia is to be declared just another ethnoreligious entity, in this case a 'Muslim State' ghettoized inside Europe. The author examines why Western liberal democracies have regarded with sympathy the struggles of Serbia and Croatia for national recognition, while viewing Bosnia's multicultural society with suspicion.
Security Studies for the 1990s
"The United States is grappling with a new security framework to replace the structure of the Cold War era. American policymakers face a host of challenges, including regional conflicts, ethnic tensions, and weapons proliferation, that commanded little attention in the past. And tomorrow is likely to bring new concerns barely on today's horizon." "Despite these changes, the study of national security remains largely a creature of the Cold War. The security studies discipline needs to be overhauled. But how should it be revised so that tomorrow's citizens and experts are equipped to understand and help manage new challenges?" "One option is to downgrade security studies and divert educational...
