International Perspectives on the Yugoslav Conflict is a collection of important new work by the leading authorities in the field. Unusually, this is an international investigation of an international conflict. The result is both profound and provocative - the most stimulating and the most far-reaching exploration of the subject yet to appear.
The demise of the former Yugoslavia was brought about by various secessionist movements seeking international recognition of statehood. This book provides a critical analysis from an international law perspective of the break-up of Yugoslavia. Although international recognition was granted to the former Yugoslav republics of Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia-Hercegovina and Macedonia, the claims of secessionist movements that sought a revision of existing internal federal borders were rejected. The basis upon which the post-secession international borders were accepted in international law involved novel applications of international law principles of self-determination of peoples and uti possidetis. This book traces the developments of these principles, and the historical development of Yugoslavia's internal borders.
This book analyses the international response to the Yugoslav conflicts from a legal perspective. It examines several episodes of international involvement in the crisis. The research covers the period from early 1980s, when the international financial institutions conditioned their financial help to the former Yugoslavia, to the conclusion and implementation of the Dayton Peace Agreements, the subsequent NATO intervention in the FRY and the Macedonian conflict that developed in the wake of the intervention. The starting point in the analysis is the writer's conviction that international law consists of a set of rules determining relations among states and non-states actors, as opposed to the perception of the law as authoritative decision-making processes. Because of this perception of international law, there is a pervasive insistence on stricter and consistent application of the law to the conflicts. It is argued that, during the resolution of the crisis, law was circumvented for the sake of short-term political benefits.
