Subject: [balkans] Query: US Foreign Policy Failures in the Balkans

Good Afternoon List Members,

I am new to the list (just joined). My name is Ekatarina Ivanovic. I 
am Serbian and German. I am also an actively practicing Orthodox 
Christian. My family left "Yugoslavia" after the Communist 
Revolution, for my grandfathers life was threated (he was a high 
ranking officer in the King's Military). I was born and raised on US 
Military Bases in Europe (my father is a us army officer retired). I 
was educated in England (Oxford), and moved to Philadelphia PA (USA), 
to pursue my IMBA at UPenn. I am currently a PhD Candidate in the 
Poli Sci Department at UPenn, concentrating on Foreign Political 
Systems.

The reason I joined this mainly for one reason. I am doing a Capstone 
Thesis on US Foreign Policy Failures in the Balkans - mainly 1) how 
the United States was incapable of comprehending the complex history 
of the region and deep rooted ethnic rivalries, and 2) how the US was 
unable to control Albanian Moslems & their terrorist networks after 
elimintating the Serbians' ability to protect themselves. 

Recently, I spend seven months traveling through Serbia and doing 
some extensive research at the University of Belgrade.

I am always looking for recommendations for reading material. Do any 
of you attend or have you attended universities that publish Foreign 
Affairs Journals? If so, have you come across any previous scholarly 
works concerning this topic??

Looking forward to the conversations on this list!

In Christ,

Katia

p.s. if there are any other Orthodox Christians on the list, there is 
an Orthodox Christian Book List on egroups - All of you (whether 
Orthodox or not) are most welcome to join.
