Publisher's Synopsis
The cold war may be over, but the nations of East Europe have already begun girding for their likely next battles. Examining the possibility of violent conflict between states and ethnic groups in the region, this book assesses how these democracies are coping with the changing strategic landscape. The author suggests that the economic prospects are so dim, the political institutions are so feeble, and the historical feelings are so deep that it is unlikely the region can evolve peacefully everywhere.
