L'éclatement de la Yougoslavie était-il inéluctable ? Les guerres yougoslaves ont-elles été des guerres de religion ? Les Balkans ont-ils raté leur transition économique ? La Serbie est-elle le cheval de Troie de la Russie dans la région ? La Chine est-elle en train d'acheter les Balkans ? Alors que l'actualité de l'Europe se déplace vers l'Est, les regards se tournent à nouveau vers les Balkans : la guerre en Ukraine peut-elle s'étendre à cette région fragile ? De nouvelles violences vont-elles éclater au Kosovo ou en Bosnie-Herzégovine ? Trente ans après la dislocation de la Yougoslavie socialiste de Tito, tous les pays des Balkans occidentaux ont théoriquement "vocation" à rejoindre l'Union européenne, mais le processus d'élargissement est bloqué. Ces pays sont dominés par des élites corrompues et autoritaires, leur économie stagne, l'Etat de droit dérape, poussant ainsi les citoyens à l'exode. Les Balkans redeviennent une périphérie marginalisée, "garde-frontières" de l'Europe, soumise aux jeux d'influences contradictoires de Bruxelles, des Etats-Unis, de la Russie, de la Chine ou de la Turquie. Ces 100 clés passionnantes nous font comprendre la complexité de cette région voisine méconnue, carrefour composite, véritable miroir grossissant de toutes les tensions géopolitiques de notre époque. 2023

Investigates how leaders in Turkey’s political sphere have hindered democratic consolidationExplores political leaders and their impact on democracyReveals a salient pattern of authoritarianism and undemocratic behaviour amongst political leaders to account for Turkey’s inability to consolidate democracy in its multi-party historyIncorporates a study of both intra-party rule and leadership in the broader political context to offer a fuller understanding of the forces that have shaped political developments in the countryUses interviews and Turkish and English sources to build an empirically rich documentation of Turkey’s multi-party historyOffers scholars of democracy and democratisation lessons into the role elites play in democractic breakdownsThis longitudinal study reveals how the conduct of political leaders has been central to the shortcomings of the Turkey’s democratic system. The most prominent political leaders, from the birth of the Republic until today, have all displayed a desire to sustain their rule through authoritarian and undemocratic measures. This has ensured efforts to improve, strengthen and respect democratic institutions and practices have been weak or non-existent across the multi-party era. In turn, the chapters identify how the leaders’ values, beliefs and practices underwritten by authoritarianism, have resulted in the tenuous existence of democracy, oscillating between simply enduring and failure during the periods they occupied the seats of political power. By looking at the Turkish experience, the book also offers comparative lessons and insights into the role political leaders play in the survival or failure of democracy.

Drawing inspiration from the work of Maria Todorova, Re-Imagining the Balkans displays the breadth of Balkan Studies today in twenty-nine chapters authored by a diverse, interdisciplinary group of scholars. The volume seeks to address how to incorporate the regions of East and Southeast Europe into broader scholarly trends and epistemological currents, while retaining local and regional expertise. The contributions include new research on historical legacies, (geo)politics, generations, memory, and cultural transfers, fresh methodological and historiographical interventions, and novel pedagogical insights. Collectively, the authors display cutting-edge knowledge, orient the general reader in the state of the field, and demonstrate the importance of Southeast Europe for the study of European, transnational, and global history.

"White Enclosures brings the Balkan Route into the global histories of race and coloniality that contribute to the ongoing georacial politics of a world white enclosure. Piro Rexhepi explores how the fear of the extinction of the white body has generated an entire economy of increasingly more sophisticated forms of surveillance, segregation, incarceration, and encampment of racialized bodies at the borderlands in Europe and the United States. Rexhepi focuses particularly around the borderlands of the Euro-Atlantic community. In these buffer zones that encircle the inner core of the transatlantic alliance, new politics of anti-mixing and race-making have consolidated neo-fascist, white supremacist regimes. For the racialized Roma and Muslim people living along the Balkan borderlands, the reemergence of whitening through purging is understood not as an exception of post-socialist neoliberal reforms, but as protracted colonial/modern constellations of geopolitical white supremacy."--
