  • The creation and politics of the international protectorates in the Balkans : bridges over troubled waters
    Yannis, Alexandros
    One of the most prominent consequences of the post-Cold War violent disintegration of former Yugoslavia was the creation of what are commonly known today as the international protectorates in ... Bosnia-Herzegovina and Kosovo. This article discusses the international and local contexts and factors that produced the international protectorates in the post-Cold war Balkans, as well as the role and politics of the protectorates in the process of re-establishing and building self-sustained stability in the region. Its main conclusion is that the role of the international protectorates in Bosnia-Herzegovina and Kosovo has basically been to facilitate the process of transition from the zero-sum nationalistic conflicts of the 1990s to the common goal of joining the European Union by ensuring the peace. Whether they can continue serving as a credible bridge to a peaceful, democratic and prosperous future in the Balkans without currently having either a clear road map or a local consensus on the very next steps remains both a formidable challenge and a big question mark.
