Yugoslavia

The Kosovo Albanian War drips with International Relations’ theory. Steeped lavishly with interactions, mostly violent unfortunately, there is ample breeding ground for one’s crop of theory. With societal rifts of anguish, for each side unable to appease the other, the land slipped into an entrenched ideology of nationalism against one another. The extent of the war pre-dates NATO and the UN, institutions that made a firm stand in Kosovo, and even the whispered declaration of war. Theory provokes

Amnesty International: "WHEN EVERYONE IS SILENT: REPARATION FOR SURVIVORS OF WARTIME RAPE IN REPUBLIKA SRPSKA IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA." Amnesty International Publications (2012). Amnesty International’s purpose is “to analyze the failure of the authorities to respect the right to reparation of survivors of wartime rape.” (AI) This purpose is legitimate as out of the tens of thousands of women who were victims of wartime rape, “fewer than 40 cases have been prosecuted.” (AI) The governments of

Explain the interfaith boundaries created when the former Yugoslavia dissolved and what conflict these caused. Be specific. Yugoslavia was a unified body of six southeastern countries. Serbia and Bosnia-Herzegovina are a few of the provinces that made up Yugoslavia. Tensions arose after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia-Herzegovina, which initiated the beginning of World War II. During WWII, Yugoslavia was under the rule of Communist Dictator Josip Tito

Fascism in the Contemporary World This research examines the development of fascism and ultranationalism in contemporary Croatia, Hungary, and Serbia. Fascism and ultranationalism are not one and the same thing. While a fascist likely will be an ultranationalist (and will certainly be nationalistic), an ultranationalist need not necessarily be a fascist. As these two terms are critical to this examination, they must be defined. Ultranationalism Ultranationalism implies not only an intensely

While struggling with puzzling and complex events I came to a deeper understanding of constant questioning and doubting as the utmost ability in my writing work...as Voltaire noted that doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is an absurd one. I doubted even myself, my motives and my memory, my knowledge... I would ask myself repeatedly: did I hear and remember this and that properly, are my notes and records accurate, did I understand some event... At times I was feeling as I was walking

Di Giovanni, a senior foreign correspondent for The Times, lived through the Balkan wars in the former Yugoslavia. This book focuses mainly on the conflict in Kosovo in 1999 but Di Giovanni also reports on the situation from the initial dissolution of the country up until the attempt at reconstruction. The author also provides the reader with the historical context of the wars, such as the events since the death of Tito and especially since 1992. It was in 1991 that the Catholic- dominated Croatia

As we progressed through the course, Modern World, the students were able to see various incidences of how technology either enhanced or deteriorated a civilization or a nation. One of the primary reads in the course was Headrick’s book, Power over Peoples. It is important to look at Headrick’s work and see just what is meant by his title, Power Over People. From what students have gathered, this means the use of technology as a means to gain an edge over another civilization, hence, using your power

In 1997, the world witnessed the second most horrific crime in eastern Europe since the Holocaust: The Srebrenica massacre. Throughout the course of 11 days, over 8,000 Bosniak –Bosnian Muslim- males, specifically those who were of age to join the military, were rounded up, and killed by the Bosnian Serb army. The army’s defense for their actions was that they were trying to reunite Serb territory after the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina became its own state. Despite this claim, the ICTY still

The case presented was in response to the independent declaration of liberation by the government of Kosovo. A demand for an advisory opinion was requested from the International Court of Justice (ICJ). In order to provide this advisory opinion, it should be determined if the International Court of Justice has the jurisdiction in the case being presented. Even though the leading paragraph of Article 96 allows for an advisory opinion to be requested when it comes to “any legal question, the ICJ has
