Der Westen und Kosovo. Ein leidvoller Erfahrungsprozess
Von Markus Spillmann
in: Internationale Politik 8/99
Mit den Luftangriffen gegen Ziele in Kosovo, Serbien und Montenegro hat das Atlantische Buendnis 50 Jahre nach seiner Gruendung ein Einlenken der gegnerischen Partei erzwungen. Der Redakteur der Neuen Zuercher Zeitung unterzieht die Mission der NATO einer kritischen Wuerdigung, fragt, welche Schluesse der Westen aus dem Kosovo-Konflikt ziehen sollte und warnt vor der Illusion, dass im Falle Jugoslawiens der Frieden bereits gewonnen sei.

Unlearning the Lessons of Kosovo
by Ivo H. Daalder and Michael E. O'Hanlon
in: Foreign Policy, Fall 1999
What are the lessons and the legacy of Operation Allied Force? President Bill Clinton emerged from the war confident that Kosovo set a new precedent‹a Clinton Doctrine‹for humanitarian intervention. Yet, the failure of many to predict the course of the war should give appropriate pause to those who have been quick to draw lessons from NATO's success. We offer a skeptical assessment of five of the most popular post-Kosovo truths. Seekers of a new doctrine of humanitarian intervention will be disappointed. The overall verdict on Kosovo is less likely to offer new lessons than to affirm old beliefs.

Der Balkan darf nicht in die EU
Von Wolfgang Bruckmann
in: DIE WELT vom 8. Juli 1999
Der Autor, wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter der SPD fur Aussen- und Europapolitik im Bundestag, plaediert dafuer die euro-atlantischen Strukturen nicht zu ueberfordern. Er kritisiert deshalb die EU-Beitrittsperspektive, die im Rahmen des Stabilitaetspaktes den Staaten Suedosteuropas eingeraeumt wurde.

Serbia between European Isolation and Integration
by Zoran Lutovac, Belgrad University
in: Eurobalkan, No. 34-35, Spring-Summer '99
Lutovac points out that the West had served Milosevic's needs and violated own interests by attacking Yugoslavia in 1999. "Collective social isolation led to the strengthening of group xenophobia, ethnic alienation and intolerance, expressed prejudices and stereotypes and the rejection of "alien" groups. In other words, the isolation together with the induction of nationalism and hyperpatriotism lead to homogenisation whose foundations are uncritical nationalism."

A Brief History of the War in Kosovo
by Florian Bieber, March 1999
The overwhelming responsibility for the crimes committed in Kosovo and all the ensuing events lies with the Yugoslav leadership. The Western countries, however, which had the means to prevent the killing, once again failed to act at the right time and with appropriate policies.

Verhinderte Nationen
Ueber den Umgang mit ethnischen Minderheiten
Von Martin Brusis und Josef Janning
in: Internationale Politik 9/99
Der moderne Staat, der sich etwa seit dem 18. Jahrhundert herausgebildet hat, hat keinen Platz fuer nationale Minderheiten vorgesehen. Er beruht auf der Theorie eines einheitlichen Staatsvolks, die in der Praxis aber oft auf das Problem nationaler Minderheiten stoesst, die man auch als "verhinderte Nationen" bezeichnen koennte. Die Autoren zeigen praktische Moeglichkeiten fuer den Umgang mit diesen Minderheiten innerhalb des Nationalstaats auf.

Regulierung ethnischer Konflikte in Suedosteuropa
Die Politik der Anerkennung
Von Ulrich Schneckener
in: Internationale Politik 9/99
Der Autor ueberprueft die Moeglichkeiten fuer den Erhalt der multinationalen und multiethnischen Vielfalt in der Region (Balkan-Stabilitaetspakt). Er entwickelt Modelle fuer eine langfristig angelegte Friedenspolitik und Arrangements fuer ein Zusammenleben der Volksgruppen auf Dauer. Eine Entschaerfung des Konfliktpotentials sieht Schneckener u.a. in der Anerkennung des territorialen Status quo.
