Reviews

'Insightful essays rich in conceptualization and empirical analysis, especially of the historical-institutional type ... reference work providing suggestive points of departure for those seeking cutting-edge work in this field.' - Choice 'Well-written and informative ... I would recommend this book to both scholars and practitioners.' - Commonwealth and Comparitive Politics 'Majstorovic's analysis of the conflict between Serbs and Albanians over the region of Kosovo is an interesting and, in general, quite balanced chapter.' - Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies
