REFLECTIONS ON THE BALKAN WARS: TEN YEARS AFTER THE BREAK UP OF YUGOSLAVIA; ED. BY JEFFREY S. MORTON

In this collection scholars, policymakers, and military officials explore the conditions that gave rise to the Balkan wars in the 1990s, the application of international law to the wars, the conduct of the wars, and post-war issues. The essays are based on presentations given at the International Conference on the Balkans held at Florida Atlantic University in February 2002.
