Britain and the Balkans - 1991 until the Present (Hardcover)

Britain and the Balkans presents an account and analysis of the role of Britain in decision-making in relation to the war in Yugoslavia and its successor states over the last decade. It traces the evolution of British policy from the onset of war in Croatia and Bosnia to the NATO action in Kosovo, and beyond, examining the underlying factors governing that policy, and its role in shaping the international 'consensus'. British policy is examined through parliamentary proceedings in the Houses of Commons and Lords, as well as through evidence offered at select committees, reports from political and humanitarian agencies, private interviews with protagonists and media coverage, in relation to the situation on the ground and to policy development on the part of other leading world powers and institutions.
