About this book

Introduction

Balancing in the Balkans explores the region for ideas concerning globalism, the creation of transnational economic communities from capital flows across political boundaries, tribalism, and the disintegration of nations into ethnic factions based upon ancient hatreds. In this book, Tanter and Psarouthakis debate the best way to achieve 'balance' - how parties in conflict can learn moderation and peaceful coexistence.
