Title: Why Milosevic Still?
Author: Eric D. Gordy
"Milosevic has so far survived the erosion of his political base by relying on the one instrument he has under his undisputed control: state power. . . . [But] Milosevic does not deserve all the credit for his own improbable survival. Even at his weakest moments it is impossible to overestimate the impact of the opposition’s repeated failure to present a credible alternative."

Title: Living in the Past: Franjo Tudjman’s Croatia
Author: Drago Hedl
Croatian President Franjo Tudjman "was a historian who strayed into politics, whose compatriots have already demonstrated how much he strayed into history as a politician; only several weeks after his death they turned their backs on his party, showing that normal life is much more than just making a thousand-year-old dream of an independent state come true."

Title: Will Bosnia Survive Dayton?
Author: James M. B. Lyon
"A review of the Dayton Peace Accords four years after its signing shows that the ethnic cleansers have won: Bosnia is ethnically divided and significant portions of the treaty remain unimplemented. In the words of the December 1998 Madrid meeting of the Peace Implementation Council, 'Bosnia and Herzegovina’s structure remains fragile. Without the scaffolding of international support, it would collapse.' "

Title: Kosovo: “Nobody’s Country”
Author: Lenard J. Cohen
"Had the international community given more careful attention to the consequences a bombing campaign would have on ethnic relations in Kosovo—or at least made adequate preparations to rapidly police the area following such a campaign—the province’s present ethnic segmentation and probable monoethnic future might have been avoided."

Title: Globally Wired: Politics in Cyberspace (Third in a Series)
Cyberwar or Sideshow? The Internet and the Balkan Wars
Author: Florian Bieber
"Although the Internet alleviated some information shortages in Yugoslavia during the war in Kosovo, its small audience of users within the country meant that only a minuscule segment of the population was as well informed as many Western media consumers. . . . Still, the Internet gave the independent Yugoslav media tremendous support and helped reduce the isolation that had enveloped Yugoslavia."

Title: Macedonia’s Quest for Security and Stability
Author: Duncan Perry
"If the new [Macedonian] government, like previous governments, confuses motion with progress and fails to deal seriously with interethnic and economic issues, trouble will follow. If, however, it does commence a healing process that involves reform, Macedonia’s future will be much more secure."
