In Bulgaria, the Turkish minority was subjected to coerced assimilation and forced expulsion, but the nation ultimately negotiated peace through institutional channels. In Macedonia, periodic outbreaks of insurgent violence escalated to armed conflict. Kosovo's internal warfare culminated in NATO's controversial bombing campaign. In the twenty-first century, these conflicts were subdued, but violence continued to flare occasionally and impede durable conflict resolution. In this comparative study, Maria Koinova applies historical institutionalism to conflict analysis, tracing ethnonationalist violence in postcommunist states to a volatile, formative period between 1987 and 1992. In this era of instability, the incidents that brought majorities and minorities into dispute had a profound impact and a cumulative effect, as did the interventions of international agents and kin states. Whether the conflicts initially evolved in peaceful or violent ways, the dynamics of their disputes became self-perpetuating and informally institutionalized. Thus, external policies or interventions could affect only minimal change, and the impact of international agents subsided over time. Regardless of the constitutions, laws, and injunctions, majorities, minorities, international agents, and kin states continue to act in accord with the logic of informally institutionalized conflict dynamics. Koinova analyzes the development of those dynamics in Bulgaria, Macedonia, and Kosovo, drawing on theories of democratization, international intervention, and path-dependence as well as interviews and extensive fieldwork. The result is a compelling account of the underlying causal mechanisms of conflict perpetuation and change that will shed light on broader patterns of ethnic violence. 410 0$aNational and ethnic conflict in the 21st century. 606 $aEthnic conflict$zBulgaria 606 $aEthnic conflict$zMacedonia (Republic) 606 $aEthnic conflict$zKosovo (Republic) 606 $aPost-communism$zBulgaria 606 $aPost-communism$zMacedonia (Republic) 606 $aPost-communism$zKosovo (Republic) 607 $aBulgaria$xEthnic relations$xPolitical aspects 607 $aMacedonia (Republic)$xEthnic relations$xPolitical aspects 607 $aKosovo (Republic)$xEthnic relations$xPolitical aspects 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEthnic conflict 615 0$aEthnic conflict 615 0$aEthnic conflict 615 0$aPost-communism 615 0$aPost-communism 615 0$aPost-communism 676 $a305.8009496 700 $aKoinova$b Maria$01051271 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463521103321 996 $aEthnonationalist conflict in postcommunist states$92481648 997 $aUNINA
