Risorse esterne che parlano di questo libro Wikipedia in inglese (26)Yugoslavia as History, first published in 2000, examines the bloody demise of the former Yugoslavia in the full light of its history. It provides a balanced understanding of the common hopes and fears which held its ethnic mosaic together, and the ethnic conflicts which broke it apart. This book examines the origins of these competing forces, and how they fared as the Yugoslavian states formed after the two World Wars searched for a multi-ethnic political culture and economic viability. This edition of John Lampe's accessible and authoritative history devotes a full new chapter to the tragic ethnic wars that have followed the dissolution of Yugoslavia, first in Croatia and Bosnia, and most recently in Kosovo. The author concentrates on the connection, real and imagined, between these conflicts and the experience of the successor states, the two Yugoslavias and their predecessors.

Lampe contended that the horrors of aftermath of Yugoslavia’s dissolution could be rationally explained by examining relatively recent events rather than relying on “the region’s ‘age-old antagonisms’â€?. He implied that western writers found it more convenient to use this over-simplified explanation and furthermore, that they would abandon it for an equally simplistic, opposite account when that suited their purposes. Although he did not voice the idea as specifically as Misch Glenny in _The Balkans_, Lampe indicated that great powers tended to view Yugoslavia as it suited their needs. The interaction of the great powers and Yugoslavia tended to be expressed in terms of how Yugoslavia could benefit the external powers more than vice versa.
Lampe emphasized two main points. The first point was that western politicians and analysts were apt to misunderstand and underestimate the Balkans and the region’s importance. Second, the great powers framed their stance on Balkan affairs in their own, usually over-simplified, terms with little regard to the needs of the Balkan people or to the facts of the matter. ( )
