Croatia: the politics behind the war
Article Abstract:
Croatian political and economic problems lie at the root of the end of the Serb-Croat cease-fire in Jan 1993 and these could overwhelm the Croatian state. The government of Croatian president Franjo Tudjman is fragile and could gain public regard by recapturing Serb-occupied lands. An even greater reason for renewed military activity was Croatia's fragile economic situation. The 1991 war devastated all parts of Croatia's economy. Providing for refugees continues to be a problem, as does inflation. War has at least had a unifying effect without which the state may have collapsed.

The UN in Croatia: an exercise in futility?
Article Abstract:
Croatia had already become a sovereign state in the eyes of many states when the UN decided to send in a peace-keeping force on Feb 21, 1992. Croatia thus held the upper hand in any decision to return the Serbian enclaves. The Serbs wanted nothing less than to live under Croatian jurisdiction and were unlikely to accede to any demilitarization. UNPROFOR was able to make modest gains but these are far outweighed by Serbian obstructions to the demilitarization plan. The UN should scale down its efforts and restrict itself to internal monitoring of the Serbian enclaves.

The politics of multiculturalism: Three mistakes
Article Abstract:
The issue of multiculturalism has not suffered from neglect and rather the reverse, it is not easy to find a political question that theorists, leaders of intellectual opinion and public officials have given more attention over last five years, except the Iraq war. In a nine year study of Muslims in Netherlands, three mistakes were identified in the way multiculturalism is approached and that the first is as mistaken an enterprise as second and tolerance, not multiculturalism, provides a foundation for diversity.
