Abstract

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

Abstract

Losing Istanbul offers an intimate history of empire, following the rise and fall of a generation of Arab-Ottoman imperialists living in Istanbul. Mostafa Minawi shows how these men and women negotiated their loyalties and guarded their privileges through a microhistorical study of the changing social, political, and cultural currents between 1878 and the First World War. He narrates lives lived in these turbulent times—the joys and fears, triumphs and losses, pride and prejudices—while focusing on the complex dynamics of ethnicity and race in an increasingly Turco-centric imperial capital. Drawing on archival records, newspaper articles, travelogues, personal letters, diaries, photos, and interviews, Minawi shows how the loyalties of these imperialists were questioned and their ethnic identification weaponized. As the once diverse empire comes to an end, they are forced to give up their home in the imperial capital. An alternative history of the last four decades of the Ottoman Empire, Losing Istanbul frames global pivotal events through the experiences of Arab-Ottoman imperial loyalists who called Istanbul home, on the eve of a vanishing imperial world order.

Abstract

Depuis 2007, 47.000 femmes issues des Balkans ont fait des séjours dans des clubs de prostitution en Espagne avant de regagner leur pays pour y fonder des entreprises. Mais depuis le début de la guerre, la mafia russo-ukrainienne s'est renforcée et la majorité de ces femmes n'a d'autre choix que de revenir travailler dans la prostitution à travers l'Europe. L'anthropologue relate leur parcours. ©Electre 2024

Abstract

Reconciliation by Stealth advances a novel approach to evaluating the effects of transitional justice in postconflict societies. Through her examination of the Balkan conflicts, Denisa Kostovicova asks what happens when former adversaries discuss legacies of violence and atrocity, and whether it is possible to do so without further deepening animosities. Reconciliation by Stealth shifts our attention from what people say about war crimes, to how they deliberate past wrongs.

Bringing together theories of democratic deliberation and peacebuilding, Kostovicova demonstrates how people from opposing ethnic groups reconcile through reasoned, respectful, and empathetic deliberation about a difficult legacy. She finds that expression of ethnic difference plays a role in good-quality deliberation across ethnic lines, while revealed intraethnic divisions help deliberators expand moral horizons previously narrowed by conflict. In the process, people forge bonds of solidarity and offset divisive identity politics that bears upon their deliberations.

Reconciliation by Stealth shows us the importance of theoretical and methodological innovation in capturing how transitional justice can promote reconciliation, and points to the untapped potential of deliberative problem-solving to repair relationships fractured by conflict.
