What is the appropriate political response to mass atrocity? In Hijacked Justice, Jelena Subotic traces the design, implementation, and political outcomes of institutions established to deal with the legacies of violence in the aftermath of the Yugoslav wars. She finds that international efforts to establish accountability for war crimes in the former Yugoslavia have been used to pursue very different local political goals. Responding to international pressures, Serbia, Croatia, and Bosnia have implemented various mechanisms of "transitional justice"-the systematic addressing of past crimes after conflicts end. Transitional justice in the three countries, however, was guided by ulterior political motives: to get rid of domestic political opponents, to obtain international financial aid, or to gain admission to the European Union. Subotic argues that when transitional justice becomes "hijacked" for such local political strategies, it fosters domestic backlash, deepens political instability, and even creates alternative, politicized versions of history. That war crimes trials (such as those in The Hague) and truth commissions (as in South Africa) are necessary and desirable has become a staple belief among those concerned with reconstructing societies after conflict. States are now expected to deal with their violent legacies in an institutional setting rather than through blanket amnesty or victor's justice. This new expectation, however, has produced paradoxical results. In order to avoid the pitfalls of hijacked justice, Subotic argues, the international community should focus on broader and deeper social transformation of postconflict societies, instead on emphasizing only arrests of war crimes suspects.

Devant les dix années de violence extrême qui se sont déroulées dans les Balkans, l'opinion occidentale manque de repères. D'une part, elle souhaite vivement rester à l'écart d'événements dont elle comprend mal le déroulement et la logique, mais en même temps, elle constate que, dans le cadre de l'OTAN et de l'UE, des troupes venues des diverses armées européennes sont engagées durablement dans le conflit. Ensuite et de façon paradoxale, au moment où le scepticisme monte vis-à-vis de l'UE, tous les États des Balkans se pressent à sa porte. Enfin, et comme le montre l'actualité récente, cette histoire n'est pas finie et les braises couvent sous la cendre. L'auteur, après avoir analysé l'histoire récente - l'indépendance du Kosovo en 2008 et la guerre des Balkans (1991-1999) - retrace l'originalité historique des Balkans. Seule région de l'Europe où un empire extérieur, non européen, a disputé aux nations européennes une part du continent dans une période récente, c'est aussi la seule région où les Européens n'étaient pas maîtres chez eux mais dépendaient d'un centre extérieur, en l'occurrence Istanbul, capitale de l'Empire Ottoman. Cette histoire particulière en fait l'unique région d'Europe qui fut partiellement islamisée, après avoir été partagée entre un christianisme occidental et un christianisme oriental. L'auteur nous éclaire également sur les nations balkaniques elles-mêmes, pour qui la domination ottomane a été vécue comme illégitime et néfaste, la Turquie ayant coupé l'Europe balkanique des contacts avec l'Ouest alors que se développaient la Renaissance et les Lumières.

In spite of the growing literature on discourse analysis, the relationship of discourse to violent/non-violent outcomes of conflict is an under-researched area. This book combines theories on ethnic conflict, identity construction and discourse analysis with a comprehensive and inclusive survey of the countries of the former Yugoslavia. It will be of interest to those concerned with ethnopolitical conflict and scholars across a range of social sciences.
