This book analyzes the central vision of three student movements organized by different generations of Kosovo Albanian students in 1968, 1981 and 1997. By examining the dynamics of the demonstrations, the author explores the dimensions, forms and implications of student uprisings and resistance, as well as the struggles for dominance by local (Kosovo), federal (SFRY), regional (Albania and Serbia) and international actors (outside the Balkans). While these demonstrations were organized by students, the book shows that these were not necessarily academic but political, highlighting the impact that students had on society to demonstrate. It examines how the vision for “Republic” status or independence impacted the first and subsequent student movements. Moreover, due to the richness of the empirical data included, this book contributes toward further discussions on social movements, nationalism and state theories.
The antibureaucratic revolution was the most crucial episode of Yugoslav conflicts after Tito. Drawing on primary sources and cutting-edge research, this book explains how popular unrest contributed to the fall of communism and the rise of a new form of authoritarianism, competing nationalisms and the break-up of Yugoslavia.
Im Vertrag von Lissabon wird die Wahrung der Rechte von Minderheiten ausdrücklich als Wert der Europäischen Union und ihrer Mitgliedstaaten genannt. Manuela Riedel arbeitet heraus, wie sich der Schutz von Minderheiten von einem zunächst nur im Rahmen von EU-Erweiterungsprozessen relevanten Kriterium zu einem gemeinsamen europäischen Wert entwickeln konnte. Hierzu analysiert die Autorin die von einem Spannungsfeld von Werten und Sicherheitsinteressen bestimmten Prozesse, Motive und Akteure, die die von den Beitrittsländern zu erfüllenden Minderheitenschutzstandards geprägt haben. Anhand der parallelen Beobachtung der EU-internen Entwicklung zeigt die Autorin, dass der im Zuge der Beitrittsvorbereitungen weiterentwickelte Schutz von Minderheiten schrittweise in die für alle Mitgliedstaaten geltenden Vertragswerke und Politiken integriert wurde und somit künftig nicht nur in EU-Beitrittsverhandlungen, sondern auch in der Europäischen Union als politikfeldübergreifendes Thema stärker an Bedeutung gewinnen wird.

ADAM set his alarm clock the night before and due to the habit, he repeatedly hit the snooze button of his alarm clock until fi nally got up at roughly 6 am. He went straight to the toilet adjacent to his room to freshen up. He combed his short straight hair. Adam looked in the mirror in his bathroom and saw a reflection of himself, a handsome fi gure with a pair of soft black eyes and smart lips. Standing tall at six feet, he was well-built for his age. He lived with his parents and a sister in a two-storey suburban house, which belonged to his parents. His pa rents were middle-aged and healthy for people of that age. The house had a large living room, which accommodated two sofa sets with a coffee table in between.
