A Cross-Generational Inquiry Historical Remembering and Attitudes Towards the “Other”: A Cross-generational Inquiry A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at George Mason University By Silvia Šušnjić Master of Arts Columbia University, 2004 Director: Dennis J.D. Sandole, Professor Institute for Conflict Analysis and Resolution Spring Semester 2010 George Mason University Fairfax, VA Copyright 2010 Silvia Šušnjić All Rights Reserved ii DEDICATION This is dedicated to my family, friends, mentors and the people of the former Yugoslavia. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS There were countless times throughout my studies that I thought of the following questions: What makes people view “Others” as evil? What kind of memories and attitudes are prevalent in defining the “Other” as evil? These questions were especially relevant in the context of the former-Yugoslavia where almost instantaneously neighbors became strangers, friends became enemies and once “good” people were now labeled as “evil” because of their accent, the names they had, or the looks they portrayed. Simple gestures, the way one spoke, even the way one displayed the number three could have at one point been grounds for harassment. This study aims to discover the reasons why certain individuals were and others were not affected by the socio-political and historic constructs created to define “other” individuals as enemies. My outmost appreciation for this project goes to my Committee Chair Dr. Dennis J.D. Sandole, who devoted much of his time to guide me throughout this project. Dr. Sandole helped me shape my dissertation ideas and always encouraged me to think outside the box in order to come up with the next “great” idea. Dr. Sandole’s motto was to ‘shoot for the stars’ and with that in mind I crafted this dissertation project. Along with Dr. Dennis J.D. Sandole, I wholeheartedly thank the two key members of my doctoral committee Dr. Ho-Won Jeong and Dr. Mills Kelly for their supervision of the project and the graciousness and patience they showed throughout the writing of this doctoral dissertation. My appreciation also goes to the key people who helped me shape my doctoral dissertation and my academic and professional career: Dr. Solon Simmons who imparted me with his love for statistics, Dr. Kevin Avruch who through his inspirational course in Culture and Conflict and our various conversations on violence helped me define the key ideas of my project, Dr. Dan Mayton at Lewis-Clark State College for imparting me with his passion for Peace Psychology, Dr. Peter Coleman at Teachers College, Columbia University for introducing me further to the field of Conflict Resolution and Dr. Rhett Diessner at Lewis-Clark State College for inspiring me to deliver my ideas through teaching and lecturing. I would also like to thank all of the fieldworkers who made this project a success and the participants in this study who were able to look beyond the content of the questionnaire in order to help me understand their views of the situation in the former-Yugoslavia. iv Lastly, I want to express my love, gratitude and appreciation to: my family, who effortlessly inspired me to achieve my goals, especially, my father Boris Šušnjić and mother Rita Pertich who sacrificed a lot throughout my years in the academia, my grandmother Rina Šušnjić, my cheerleader who never let me give up on my dreams, my uncle Mladen Šušnjić for providing intellectual and financial support throughout my studies, my brother Dino Šušnjić and his mother Mirjana Šušnjić for being there for me, my grandfather Albino Šušnjić who passed away, for imparting his interest in politics, and to Dr. Frank Mills and my coworkers at the Eastern Caribbean Center, University of the Virgin Islands and my friends for their tireless and constant encouragement. My gratitude goes to all of you for helping me to make this dissertation a true success. v TABLE OF CONTENTS Page List of Tables ................................................................................................................... viii List of Figures .................................................................................................................... ix Abstract ................................................................................................................................x 1.

This is a class action brought by ethnic Serbs who resided in the Krajina region of Croatia up to August 1995 and who then became victims of the Croatian military assault known as Operation Storm—an aggressive, systematic military attack and bombardment on a demilitarized civilian population that had been placed under the protection of the United Nations.

Defendant MPRI, a private military contractor subsequently acquired by Defendant L-3 Communications Inc., trained and equipped the Croatian military for Operation Storm and designed the Operation Storm battle plan. Operation Storm became the largest land offensive in Europe since World War II and resulted in the murder and inhumane treatment of thousands of ethnic Serbs, the forced displacement of approximately 200,000 ethnic Serbs from their ancestral homes in Croatian territory, and the pillaging and destruction of hundreds of millions of dollars worth of Serbian-owned property.

  • Framing Croatia's Politics of Memory and Identity
    Workshop: War and Identity in the Balkans and the Middle East WORKING PAPER WORKSHOP: War and Identity in the Balkans and the Middle East WORKING PAPER Author: Taylor A. McConnell, School of Social and Political Science, University of Edinburgh Title: “KRVatska”, “Branitelji”, “Žrtve”: (Re-)framing Croatia’s politics of memory and identity Date: 3 April 2018 Workshop: War and Identity in the Balkans and the Middle East WORKING PAPER “KRVatska”, “Branitelji”, “Žrtve”: (Re-)framing Croatia’s politics of memory and identity Taylor McConnell, School of Social and Political Science, University of Edinburgh Web: taylormcconnell.com | Twitter: @TMcConnell_SSPS | E-mail: [email protected] Abstract This paper explores the development of Croatian memory politics and the construction of a new Croatian identity in the aftermath of the 1990s war for independence. Using the public “face” of memory – monuments, museums and commemorations – I contend that Croatia’s narrative of self and self- sacrifice (hence “KRVatska” – a portmanteau of “blood/krv” and “Croatia/Hrvatska”) is divided between praising “defenders”/“branitelji”, selectively remembering its victims/“žrtve”, and silencing the Serb minority. While this divide is partially dependent on geography and the various ways the Croatian War for Independence came to an end in Dalmatia and Slavonia, the “defender” narrative remains preeminent. As well, I discuss the division of Croatian civil society, particularly between veterans’ associations and regional minority bodies, which continues to disrupt amicable relations among the Yugoslav successor states and places Croatia in a generally undesired but unshakable space between “Europe” and the Balkans. 1 Workshop: War and Identity in the Balkans and the Middle East WORKING PAPER Table of Contents Abstract ...................................................................................................................................................................

  • Two Puzzling Judgments in the Hague | the Economist
    7/3/2014 War crimes in the former Yugoslavia: Two puzzling judgments in The Hague | The Economist Eastern approaches Ex­communist Europe War crimes in the former Yugoslavia Two puzzling judgments in The Hague Jun 1st 2013, 16:45 by T.J. THE credibility of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (http://www.icty.org/) in The Hague is in shreds and few understand the reasoning behind recent judgments. This seems to be the consensus of comments made in the wake of two landmark judgements last week. In one the Croatian state was implicated in war crimes in Bosnia during the 1992-95 war. And in another Serbian officials were acquitted. Carl Bildt, the Swedish foreign minister, who has a long history of involvement in Balkans summed it in a tweet (mailto:%3cblockquote%20class=%22twitter- tweet%22%3e%3cp%3eIt%20is%20becoming%20increasingly%20difficult%20to%20see%20the%20consistency%20or%20logic%20in%20the%20different%20judgements%20by%20the%20ICTY%20war%20crimes%20tribunal.%3c/p%3e—%20Carl%20Bildt%20(@carlbildt)%20%3ca%20href=%22https://twitter.com/carlbildt/status/340122572177936385%22%3eMay%2030,%202013%3c/a%3e%3c/blockquote%3e) : “it is becoming increasingly difficult to see the consistency or logic in the different judgements.” On May 30thJovica Stanisic (pictured above on the right), the former head of Serbia’s secret police, was acquitted (http://www.icty.org/sid/11329) of all crimes, along with Franko Simatovic aka Frenki (pictured above on the left), who had been his right hand man. They had been charged with persecution, murder and ethnic cleansing in Bosnia and Croatia.

  • Tribunal Convicts Gotovina and Markac, Acquits Cermak
    Tribunal Convicts Gotovina and Markač, Acquits Čermak Press Release CHAMBERS (Exclusively for the use of the media. Not an official document) The Hague, 15 April 2011 NJ/MOW/PR1402e Tribunal Convicts Gotovina and Markač, Acquits Čermak Trial Chamber I of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) today convicted two Croatian Generals, Ante Gotovina and Mladen Markač, and acquitted one, Ivan Čermak, of charges of crimes against humanity and violations of the laws or customs of war committed by the Croatian forces during the Operation Storm military campaign between July and September 1995. Gotovina, who held the rank of Colonel General in the Croatian army and was the Ante Gotovina Commander of the Split Military district during the indictment period, and Markač who held the position of Assistant Minister of Interior in charge of Special Police matters, were convicted of persecution, deportation, plunder, wanton destruction, two counts of murder, inhumane acts and cruel treatment. They were sentenced to 24 and 18 years’ imprisonment respectively. They were acquitted of charges of inhumane acts / forcible transfer. Čermak, who was the Commander of the Knin Garrison, was acquitted of all charges. Ivan Čermak The Chamber found that the crimes took part during an international armed conflict in Croatia and in the context of many years of tensions between Serbs and Croats in the Krajina region where previously a number of crimes had been committed against the Croats. “However, this case was not about crimes happening before the indictment period. Nor was it about the lawfulness of resorting to and conducting war as Mladen Markač such,” Judge Alphonsus Orie, presiding said.

DOI: 10.29362/IST20VEKA.2018.1.RAD.9-34 REPUBLIKA SRPSKA KRAJINA AND THE RIGHT * OF PEOPLES TO SELF-DETERMINATION ABSTRACT: In Part I of this article author details the claims to inde- pendent statehood of Croatia and Krajina based upon the right of peoples to self-determination in the context of the emergence of nationalism as a powerful political force in Yugoslavia in the early 1990s. He also details the response of the international community to the crisis which these irreconcilable claims gave rise to. In Part II author explores the reasons why the secession of Croatia suc- ceeded and the secession of Krajina failed. Finally, the ramifications of Croa- tia’s and Krajina’s competing claims to statehood for the right of peoples to self-determination are discussed in the Conclusion. KEYWORDS: Republika Srpska Krajina, The break-up of Yugoslavia, War in Croatia 1991–1995, International Law, Self-determination, Secession, Inter-ethnic relations, National Minorities, Serbs in Croatia, Nationalism Introduction On 9 November 1989 the Berlin Wall came down. More than any other, this event of that tumultuous year symbolised the end of the Cold War and ush- ered in what Allen Buchanan has called ‘the age of secession’.1 The usual justi- fication for secessionist demands was the right of peoples to self-determination. One of the means by which this right is realised is by ‘the establishment of a sovereign and independent state’.2 The critical question for self-determination relates to the meaning of ‘peoples’.

  • Croatia: 2003 Elections and New Government
    Order Code RS21703 January 6, 2004 CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web Croatia: 2003 Elections and New Government name redacted Specialist in International Relations Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Summary In parliamentary elections held on November 23, 2003, the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ), a right-wing party of the late former wartime President Franjo Tudjman, won a plurality of the vote. The HDZ had dominated Croatia’s political scene from 1990 until its defeat in the 2000 elections. Ivo Sanader, who succeeded Tudjman as HDZ party leader and refashioned the party along more moderate, less nationalistic lines, became Prime Minister of a minority government in December 2003. The Sanader government will likelyface significant domestic challenges as well as close international scrutiny over its performance in a number of issue areas. This report analyzes the elections and key issues facing the new government. It will not be updated. For additional information, see also CRS Report RL32136, Future of the Balkans and U.S. Policy Concerns. Introduction The November 2003 elections were Croatia’s fourth parliamentary contest since the country became independent in 1991. In the last vote of January 2000, a coalition of center-left parties soundly defeated the incumbent Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) government, weeks after the death of Franjo Tudjman, the longstanding leader of the HDZ and President of the country. To supporters, Tudjman represented the father of Croatian independence. To critics, however, Tudjman closely resembled nationalist Serb leader Slobodan Milosevic and demonstrated similar territorial designs on neighboring Bosnia. In 1995, Croatia launched two military operations, “Flash” and “Storm,” to regain control over the Krajina, Croat territory held by rebel Serbs after 1991.
