Session Submission Type: Roundtable
The scholars on this roundtable seek to examine how and why atrocities are committed during warfare and what impact hyper-localized violence has on a community by focusing on the cases from Croatia, Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Kosovo. The discussion will focus on three interrelated issues: the role of perpetrators, particularly the relationship between elites at different levels of the state, the micro-level dynamics of genocide and other crimes against humanity, and the commemoration of the conflict as a means of reinforcing ethnic identity and division.
