Summary: The region of the Balkans has become one of the emblematic features of the post-Cold War geography of international relations. Understanding the extension of the European zone of peace to the Balkans is at the heart of this pioneering work into the post-Cold War socialisation of the region. How is peace (i.e. a security-community-order) initiated in the Balkans? Who are the dominant agents of such peace-promotion? What processes suggest the initiation of (lasting) peace in the Balkans? Under what circumstances do regional states comply with international standards? Looking at the order-promoting processes of both the EU and Nato, Emilian Kavalski offers us the first detailed and theoretically-informed comparative analysis of the role played by external actors in the Balkan region as a whole. In doing so he provides us with an insight into the processes of peace-promotion in general, and the patterns of security-community-building in the Balkans in particular.'a significant empirical contribution to theory building and an important case study in the broader literature on the establishment of security communities...this bookwill take a legitimate and deserved place alongside other texts treating the political and security development of the Balkans and, potentially, within the wider realm of security studies.'Dr. Maurice Fitzgerald Lecturer in Modern European and International Studies, Loughborough University. |
