This book revisits images of the Balkans in twentieth-century travel writing that vividly mirrors the turbulent changes that the region went through. As such, it provides a vital basis for research into the variety of possibilities, or obstacles, present on the region's path to accession, when its unique heritage will have to be reconciled with a more European identity. This volume explores the work of well-known authors, such as Rebecca West, Paul Theroux, Robert D. Kaplan, and also contributes to travel writing theory by addressing less-known travellers who recorded their thoughts on the soc

Les relations entre les Habsbourg et les Ottomans constituent un chapitre important des relations complexes que l'Islam entretient avec la Chrétienté. Les deux dynasties ont gouverné durant quatre siècles des empires multiethniques et multiconfessionnels qui se sont affrontés à partir de 1520 pour la domination de l'Europe centrale. Jusqu'en 1700, les Ottomans ont représenté une menace d'autant plus grave (sièges de Vienne par les Turcs en 1529 et 1683) que les Habsbourg étaient mal soutenus par le reste de de la Chrétienté. Ceux-ci ont néanmoins réussi, avec l'appui de quelques alliés (Allemands du Saint Empire, Polonais, Espagnols, papauté) à empêcher les Ottomans de conquérir toute l'Europe centrale. Il n'y eut jamais d'union sacrée de l'Europe contre le péril ottoman, parce que les intérêts des princes, des États et des nations étaient en contradiction avec une conception idéaliste des relations internationales. Les Habsbourg ont contenu les Ottomans grâce au système de la "frontière militaire", qui a marqué profondément le paysage humain de l'ex-Yougoslavie. Même lorsque les Ottomans eurent perdu leur supériorité militaire, les Habsbourg ne jugèrent pas opportun de reconquérir les Balkans, car la Sublime Porte était considérée comme indispensable au maintien de l'équilibre européen. Et lorsque les Habsbourg s'emparèrent tardivement de la Bosnie-Herzégovine, ils précipitèrent la disparition des deux monarchies, étrangères à la conception jacobine de l'État nation, qui ne survécurent pas à la Première Guerre mondiale.

"This book critically examines the process of statebuilding by the EU, focusing on its attempts to build Member States in the Western Balkan region. This book analyses the European Union's policies towards, and the impact they have, upon the states of the Western Balkans, and assesses how these affect the nature of EU foreign policy. To this end, it focuses on the tools and mechanisms that the EU employs in its enlargement policy and examines the new instruments of direct intervention (in Bosnia and Kosovo), political coercion (in the case of Croatia and Serbia in relation to the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia), and stricter conditionality in the Western Balkan countries. The book discusses the key aim of this special form of statebuilding, which is to establish functional liberal-democratic states in Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro, and Serbia in order for them to join the EU and to cope with the responsibilities and pressures of membership in the future. However, the authors argue that while the EU sees itself as an international actor that promotes and protects liberal-democratic values, norms and principles, its experiences in the Western Balkans demonstrate how the EU

"This publication provides a view beyond the big European ­collective management organisations (CMOs) and contributes to the transparency of the collective rights management ­systems of young and prospective EU-Member States. Since the accession of Slovenia and Bulgaria, the territory of EU expands over the region of South-Eastern Europe (SEE). ­Nevertheless, the EU academic circles are generally unfamiliar with the field of collective management of copyright and related rights in SEE. However, in the last twenty years, a diverse and to an extent rather specific landscape of CMOs has been ­developed in that region. The legal framework and the ­particularities of the latter are worthy of scientific consideration. This book also deals with the position of those CMOs from the region with regard to the increasingly strong requirement for cross-border licensing in the online field and the tendency for more competition between CMOs."
