Trouble in the Balkans Free Seminar
From: London School of Economics and Political Science
In this seminar, Sumantra Bose, lecturer in comparative politics at the London School of Economics and Political Science, considers the conflict in Bosnia. He begins by exploring the explosive historical legacy of the area and then, in a series of interviews with Fathom, he addresses the central questions. Was it a conflict over territory, religion or race? How could communities which had apparently existed in peace clash so suddenly and with such ferocity? Where exactly will the road to peace lead and, perhaps most importantly, will the lessons of history be learned or will the twenty-first century see yet more trouble in the Balkans?
