Summary/Abstract: This book might be the most comprehensive collection of texts by numerous authors analysing the wars of the 1990s in former Yugoslavia. It has been developed and edited as a priject of the »East/West-Eurpopean Cultural Center PALAIS JALTA« in Frankfurt //During the 1990s, Milošević's wars covered almost all parts of the disintegrating and already disintegrated Yugoslavia. After the abolition of the autonomy of Kosovo and Vojvodina, the first scene was Slovenia, followed by Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina and finally Kosovo again. The handbook, published on behalf of the Frankfurt East-West European Cultural and Study Center "Palais Jalta", is both a reference work and an informative reading book on all aspects of the wars in Yugoslavia. Through its historically thoroughly researched chapters on all the peoples of the former Yugoslavia, the work reveals in encyclopedic essays the long history (from the history of the peoples and states to the founding of the first Yugoslavia in 1918, through its downfall in the Second World War to the Titoist re-foundation) as well as the political, religious and cultural context of this catastrophe. Finally, the profound consequences, e.g. for the world of states and international law, are formulated. The handbook is rounded off with a chronology, a glossary and detailed bibliographical appendices. This concept makes the handbook an indispensable standard work for all those interested in politics who are looking for thorough, serious and comprehensive information on the background to the conflict. The book is also a reliable reference work for scientists, students, journalists and all those who work with refugees and other people affected by the war - in schools, social work or the judiciary. The publication of the volume by the Frankfurt philosopher and publicist Dunja Melcic was accompanied by an advisory board with lecturers in south-eastern European history from various European universities. The authors are experts from all countries of the former Yugoslavia, from Germany, Great Britain, Austria, France, Switzerland and the USA.
