The Balkan Tragedy

Author

  • MICHAEL MOODIE

Abstract

The tragic conflict in the Balkans is the product of a complex interaction of historical, religious, and political factors, the absence of effective political institutions in new states, and personal and ideological imperatives. This article reviews that interaction, focusing on events following the breakup of Yugoslavia. It highlights in particular the impact of extremist ethnic nationalism on all of the parties to the conflict. The article also addresses international involvement in the Balkan conflict, reviewing the numerous peace plans that have been unsuccessfully promoted and the impact of the crisis on transatlantic relations. It contends that no country or institution has won particularly good marks for its policies and actions.
