The author raises a series of timely and acute questions about the future of postmodernism and postcommunism. The author claims that the Balkan war has de-railed the movement for unification in Europe. The Islamic world has seen that the West is quite willing to bomb Muslim targets, from Iraq to Somalia, but absolutely unwilling to wage a `just war' to save the Bosnian Muslims. He concludes that the Balkan war is a key catalyst in the unravelling of the West. 606 $aPost-communism 606 $aPostmodernism$xSocial aspects 606 $aWorld politics$y1989- 606 $aYugoslav War, 1991-1995 615 0$aPost-communism. 615 0$aPostmodernism$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aWorld politics 615 0$aYugoslav War, 1991-1995. 676 $a303.6 676 $a303.6094 676 $a940.55/9 700 $aMestrovic$b Stjepan Gabriel.$0932266 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827486903321 996 $aThe Balkanization of the West$94117362 997 $aUNINA
