Resisting Inter-Ethnic Violence: Community Approaches to Conflict Transformation in Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina de Valentina Otmačić

Resisting Inter-Ethnic Violence: Community Approaches to Conflict Transformation in Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina: Southeast European Studies

Autor Valentina Otmačić
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 2 dec 2024
This book analyses the 1991 to 1995 war experiences of ethnically mixed communities who successfully resisted identity-based violence and segregation in Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina. Challenging the prevailing view of the wars in these countries as ethnic struggles rooted in historical antagonisms, it adds complexity to our understanding of peace and violence by contributing previously untapped insights into local dynamics of inter-ethnic collaboration. Exploring the strategies and approaches applied to resist violence and to transform conflict in a constructive manner, it provides an important comparative analysis of the experiences and proposes a framework for community resistance to identity-based violence in multi-ethnic societies.
This volume will contribute to the ongoing debates of scholars and practitioners on the causes and consequences of violent conflicts, and the related practical approaches to violence prevention and peacebuilding. Highly relevant to scholars and students in peace and conflict studies, political science, international relations, security studies, history, sociology, and social psychology, it willalso be of great interest to policy makers and practitioners in conflict management, conflict transformation and local governance.

Recenzii

In this excellent comparative study Valentina Otmačić explores the processes through which ordinary people create effective mechanisms for the prevention of inter-ethnic violence. This is an empirically rich, innovative, and analytically rigorous study that makes an important contribution to peace studies. 
Siniša Malešević, University College, Dublin and CNAM, Paris
For many years, the analytical framework of choice for scholars of ex-Yugoslavia has been ethnic nationalism as seen through the prism of violence and trauma. Through sensitive ethnography and incisive analysis, this important book challenges and indeed, elevates our understanding of the local-level processes where destructive outcomes of conflict not only have but can be averted.
Daphne Winland, York University
Valentina Otmačić makes an important contribution to the literature of political violence by focusing on the ways that some communities, which she calls the oases of peace, resisted the divisions and the violence that ensued in other communities during the same time.
Mila Dragojević, the University of the South
Otmačić’s study is innovative in its theoretical considerations, but it is also ethnographically rich. Moreover, it furthers our understanding of the dynamics of conflict transformation and should, for this reason, be considered required reading for researchers and students of peace and conflict studies, particularly but not only in the post-Yugoslav space.
Tamara Banjeglav, Institute of Culture and Memory Studies, Research Centre of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts (ZRC SAZU), Ljubljana, Slovenia 
La obra desafía la visión mainstream de las guerras que descuartizaron Yugoslavia como luchas étnicas consecuencia de antagonismos históricos de corte nacionalista y religioso. Para ello, el libro ofrece una visión más compleja y completa a la comprensión convencional del derecho, la ciencia política y las humanidades acerca de la paz y la violencia al aportar ideas previamente inexploradas sobre las dinámicas locales de colaboración interétnica. 
The work challenges the mainstream view of the wars of dissolution of Yugoslavia as ethnic conflicts resulting from historical antagonisms of a nationalist and religious nature. To this end, the book offers a more complex and comprehensive perspective than the conventional understanding in law, political science, and the humanities regarding peace and violence, by providing previously unexplored insights into the local dynamics of interethnic collaboration.
- Jose Angel Ruiz Jimenez, Profesor Titular de Universidad, Universidad de Granada, IPAZ
