Abstract
Yugoslavia has imploded. Peace seems irretrievable as blood feuds threaten to make that area — it can no longer be called a nation — into a semipermanent battleground. Military force has been deployed and sometimes used in several cities of the former Soviet Union, including Moscow. Ethnic claims and quarrels have erupted in the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic. Romania and Bulgaria are wrestling with minorities problems that threaten a breakdown in public order. The use of military force is obviously no less unthinkable in the new Europe than during the depths of the Cold War. Is the contradiction between order and justice in Central and Eastern Europe so profound that violence will become more commonplace and more intense than during the Cold War?
