Balkan Working Group
Explaining the Yugoslav Catastrophe: The Quest for a Common Narrative
Date:
April 19, 2005
Time:
9:00am – 3:00pm
Location:
United States Institute of Peace
2nd Floor Conference Room
1200 17th Street N.W., Washington D.C.
Directions
Nationalist politicians and media fueled Yugoslavia's bloody
dissolution. Today the region's peoples remain deeply divided by
contradictory accounts of what happened.
What are the great controversies that divide Bosniaks, Croats, Serbs,
Slovenes and Kosovars?
To what extent can the region's scholars bridge the divide by forging
a single, yet multilateral narrative?
What obstacles and other challenges must they confront?
What kind of an impact can such an approach have on the peace-building
process in the Balkans? Elsewhere?
