ABSTRACT

The original research problem for the project featured in this volume was to explore how the international community could do better at anticipating and preventing future Yugoslavias. After 9/11, the prevention of catastrophic terrorism (Hamburg, 2002) was included as a goal as well on the assumption that the etiologies of both types of political violence are conceptually similar and/or epiphenomenally connected. In other words, I hypothesized that the sources of the genocidal violence in former Yugoslavia could give rise to terrorism as well.
