The purpose of the course is to advance the student’s knowledge of Serbia, Kosovo, Montenegro, Macedonia, Croatia, Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina – states that emerged after the disintegration of Yugoslavia whose polities and societies have been marked by the experience, consequences and legacies of the 1990s wars. The course will introduce students to the history and culture of those states, drawing connections between current events and the historical past, by using historical, literary, and visual sources. What is more, it will also provide students with a comparative and theoretical understanding of the conflict and the process of reconciliation in the region. A concluding debate considers the potential future of the post-Yugoslav states. Course materials will include not only theoretical and historical readings, but also historical documents, literary texts and films from the region.

This course aims to present to the student the following topics:

1. The creation of Yugoslavia

2. ‘After Tito’ – the causes of Yugoslavia’s disintegration

3. Wartime Part I – Slovenia, Croatia, Macedonia and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia

4. War in Bosnia and the Conference in Dayton & Conflict in Kosovo

5. The post-Yugoslav states and the Euro-Atlantic integration & The post-Yugoslav states and regional cooperation

6. Yugo-nostalgia as a social and cultural phenomenon

7. The status of minorities in post-Yugoslav states & The role of religion in post-Yugoslav states

8. Diasporas and the post-Yugoslav states – connection or disconnection?

9. The aftermath of decades of wars and conflicts – any chance for reconciliation and good neighbor relations? (debate)

10. The final exam
