America and the Balkans: Memos to a President / Edition 1

by Philip D. Zelikow, Robert B. Zoellick

Overview

Aspen Policy Books is a series of brief books devoted to developing new thinking on U.S. national security, cooperative measures to reduce conflict, and international polices of the United States from national defense strategy to issues of international political economy. The books are collections of "memos to the president" on one of these selected global policy issues.

America and the Balkans is organized around four topics: "Kosovo," "Serbia," "The Balkan Region," and "Europe and Transatlantic Relations." Each topic begins with a list of questions for discussion, is followed by a series of policy memos by guest experts, and concludes with a summary of the discussion on that topic.

Editorial Reviews

With the war over in Kosovo, the United States finds itself in a new position with new concerns over a region with fewer peacekeeping and more reconstruction needs. This text gathers together memos like those that might have been presented to the President of the US at a policy meeting on the Balkans; in fact, the editors call the book the "distillation of a White House Policy seminar that never happened." It is split into four topics: Kosovo, Serbia, the Balkan Region, and Europe and Transatlantic relations. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
