Macedonia on the crossroads between Europe and Balkan

Meer over het boek

The book explores the challenges of state-building in Macedonia, highlighting the clash between Western European models and the region's unique historical and cultural context. It critiques the international community's approach to promoting multicultural inclusion as a solution to inter-ethnic conflict, emphasizing that the imposition of foreign norms often fails to achieve the intended equality among diverse ethnic groups. The analysis reveals that political circumstances and the dynamics of national minorities significantly influence the effectiveness of recognition theories and the pursuit of rights.
