Balkans in Focus

With the different perspectives of eight academic sub-disciplines, the authors in the book discuss the complex weave of cultural links and the different religious and linguistic groups that have been living side by side in the Balkans for centuries. This anthropological study is the result of a scientific project, the primary goal of which has been to form an active network of scholars who study the cultural and political developments in the post-Yugoslav breakdown. Research has been gathered from Scandinavia and Germany as well as Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, Serbia and Slovenia.
