Britain And The Balkans (routledge Advances In European Politics)

Britain and the Balkans Britain and the Balkans presents an empirical account and analysis of Britain’s role in international policy in Yugoslavia and its successor states from 1991 to the present day. Carole Hodge traces the evolution of British policy from the onset of war in Croatia and Bosnia to the NATO action in Kosovo, and beyond, examining the underlying factors governing that policy, and its role in shaping the international ‘consensus’. British policy is examined through parliamentary proceedings in the House of Commons and Lords, as well as through evidence offered at select committees, reports from political and humanitarian agencies and private interviews with protagonists and media coverage. These elements of British diplomacy are assessed in relation to the situation on the ground and to policy development of other leading world powers and institutions. This accessible and scholarly work will be of key interest to students and scholars of the Balkans, conflict resolution, security studies, international relations and European studies. Carole Hodge is currently engaged in post-doctoral research in international human rights law, and was formerly head of research at the South East European Research Unit of the University of Glasgow, UK.
