These conceptual themes are examined by analyzing the Macedonian conflict in depth. The aim of this complex book is to provide answers to the question of what was happening in all stages of the conflict in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYRM), by thoroughly analyzing the events that took place before and in particular during the year 2001. It further intends to emphasize the significance of the signed Ohrid Framework Agreement for the European future of the FYRM. We probed for the answers by applying different theoretical and practical methodological approaches, and through the analysis of empirical data combined with theory and our field experience. Through discussions and interviews with representatives of international organizations, international experts and the Macedonian and Albanian politicians, a new perspective that analyzes the year 2001 through a prism of scientific facts is offered not only to the academia, but also to a wide range of practitioners devoted to constructive conflict resolution. Scientific lessons in theory and practice of conflict resolution have thus been ascertained, contributing to the definition of the conflict resolution model, and to the enhancement of stability, not only in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, but in the wider region as well. The complexity of the issue called for broad participation of several authors, making the topic of conflict resolution per se a matter of international importance. This work could not be realized without full engagement of Macedonian, Slovenian and American authors, all experts in their 8 respective fields. Our work is enriched also by thoughtful reviews of Petar Atanasov, professor at the Institute for Sociological and Politico-Legal Research in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and Vlatko Cvrtila, professor and the former dean of the Faculty of Political Sciences in Zagreb, Croatia. Due to the complexity of the book, which presented a challenge to the authors and will in parts be challenging also to the readers, the authors will be grateful for any suggestions and comments, which we will keep in mind in a possible future edition. Our acknowledgment and sincere thanks go to the sponsors, Triglav d. o. o., represented by Mr. Iztok Šekoranja and ADP Adria d. o. o ., represented by Mr. Miha Dvojmoč, who have allocated resources that helped publish the English version of the present book, previously published in Albanian and Macedonian. | Contents note: | The changing nature of security; post-cold war shift in security paradigm: conflict prevention, conflict management and post-conflict settlement; Socio-economic, political and ethnic premises in Macedonian society post independence; The origins of tensions between the Albanian and the Macedonian communities in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia; The genesis of the conflict: from latent to manifest phase; endeavors of the Macedonian state to resolve the conflict; meditation by the European Union, organization for security and cooperation in Europe and the North Atlantic treaty organization; The Ohrid framework agreement; lessons learned; Post scriptum/epilogue | Record link: | https://library.seeu.edu.mk/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=16586 |
