Part of a symposium in honor of Professor Adrian Hastings draws on Hastings's comments on Bosnia-Herzegovina's evident inability to form a cohesive national consciousness as a point of departure for a discussion of the origins of the recent calamity. On a general level, Hastings appropriately argues for the centrality of state formation to the establishment of European nations. But, in discussing the "Yugoslav" Slavs, he emphasizes cultural rather than institutional characteristics of national integration, whereby the emergence of Serbian & Croatian ethnic nationalism & its tragic consequences for the more territorially self-identified Bosnians are inferred. Yet, this approach raises more problems than it solves. Rather, Bosnia's national identity & the attitudes of its neighbors were more significantly influenced by state projects than by ethnic ideologies. K. Coddon

Examines causes and effects of "ethnic cleansing" initiated in Feb. 1998 by Serbian military and paramilitary forces in Kosovo, and possible solutions to the conflict.
