ABSTRACT

As part of our efforts to explore the “goodness-of-fit” between theory (3PF/NEPSS) and diplomatic practice with regard to the prevention of “future Yugoslavias” and related acts of terrorism, Chapter 5 reported on CSCE/OSCE negotiators’ responses to closed-ended questions dealing with a range of security issues. As a continuation of that effort, this chapter focuses on their responses to the first of our select open-ended questions, “What do you believe were the causes of the wars in former Yugoslavia?” In terms of the 3PF, this chapter presents on practitioners’ perceptions of pillar 2.
