Coercion, Norms and Atrocity: Explaining State Compliance with International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia Arrest and Surrender Orders Word Count: 92,981 Christopher Kazumi Lamont Submitted for the degree of PhD in Politics Faculty of Law, Business and Social Sciences Department of Politics University of Glasgow 2 April 2008 © all rights reserved by author Lamont, C. 2008 Abstract State compliance with International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) arrest and surrender orders, Article 29(d) and (e) obligations, remains under explored in international criminal tribunal (ICT) scholarship despite the fact compliance with ICTY orders often proved not forthcoming from the states of the former Yugoslavia. This thesis will attempt to identify causal phenomena behind compliance with ICT arrest and surrender orders through an exploration of compliance on the part of the diverse spectrum of states and non-state governing entities across the former Yugoslavia. Because International Relations (IR) scholarship identifies competing causal mechanisms to explain compliance and non-compliance outcomes, which range from a rationalist focus on material incentives and disincentives to norm-centric approaches, there will be an exploration of both ideational and material explanatory variables. Moreover, as mainstream neorealist and neoliberal institutionalist theories are unable to cope with entities where an autonomous state is not an ontological given, this thesis will be divided into two constituent parts. Part I will address the question of state compliance and include the three state case studies, Croatia, Serbia and Macedonia, while Part II will address the question of compliance in the context of Bosnia-Herzegovina and Kosovo, both of which do not conform to traditional models of the Westphalian state. This thesis will argue that the study of compliance is limited by the state centricity of international law and the rationalist failure to integrate ideational structures into the study of compliance. 2 Lamont, C. 2008 Table of Contents Abstract 2 Table of Contents 3 List of Tables 7 List of Figures 8 Acknowledgements 9 Preface 10 Chapter One -International Criminal Tribunals: the Politics of State Compliance 13 1 Introduction: From Nuremberg and Tokyo to The Hague 13 2 From Law Creation to Law Enforcement 15 2.1 Ad Hoc Justice 18 2.2 Explaining Compliance 19 3 Tribunal Literature: Bridging Theories of International Law and International Relations 22 3.1 Realism and Neorealism: International Justice or Realpolitik? 23 3.2 Liberalism: Tribunal Justice and Democratic Peace 28 3.3 Neoliberal Institutionalism and an Atrocities Regime 29 3.4 The Two Logics 31 3.5 Norms, Rules and Legitimacy 33 3.5.1 The Boomerang Pattern and Spiral Model 34 3.5.2 Compliance and Legitimacy 36 4 Sovereignty Compromised 41 4.1 The Tribunal Regime and State Sovereignty 42 4.2 Compliance under Diffuse Sovereignty 43 5 Conclusions: Introducing the Case Studies 45 Part I – State Compliance: Croatia, Serbia and Macedonia 47 Chapter Two – Croatia: A Coercive Model for Compliance 48 1 Introduction: Tracing Causal Pathways to Compliance Outcomes 48 2 Domestic Politics of Compliance 51 2.1 State Legitimization 52 2.2 The Domestic Politics of Compliance 1996-1999 54 2.3 The Domestic Politics of Compliance 2000-2006 56 2.3.1 Challenging Article 29 – the Bobetko Crisis 58 2.3.2 From Non-compliance to Compliance 60 3 Constructing International Justice – International Norms and Domestic Politics 61 3.1 The ICTY and Transnational Advocacy Networks 62 3.2 Civil Society: Victims, Veterans and Human Rights NGOs 65 3 Lamont, C. 2008 4 The International Politics of Compliance 67 4.1 Phase I: The US and the ICTY 68 4.1.1 The United States and the Coercive Model 69 4.1.2 European Union Member States and the ICTY 73 4.2 Phase II: Challenging the Tribunal 74 4.2.1 Enforcement Ambiguity and Non-Compliance 75 4.2.2 Article 98: Contradictory Norms 77 4.3 Phase III: Compliance 78 5 Conclusions 79 Chapter Three – Serbia: State Compliance and the Limits of Coercion 81 1 Introduction: The Power of Human Rights? 81 2 Domestic Politics of Compliance 83 2.1 State Legitimization 84 2.1.1 The Domestic Politics of International Institutions 85 2.1.2 State Legitimization and Identity 87 2.1.3 State Legitimization and Ethnicity 87 2.2 Domestic Politics of Compliance 1993-2000 89 2.3 Domestic Politics of Compliance 2000-2006 91 2.3.1 Serbia’s Domestic Non-Compliance Pull 92 2.3.2 Pragmatic Compliance 96 3 Constructing International Justice – International Norms and Domestic Politics 97 3.1 The ICTY and Transnational Advocacy Networks 99 3.2 Civil Society: Human Rights NGOs and the Ethno-Nationalization of Civil Society 101 4 International Politics of Compliance 103 4.1 Phase I: From Pariah State to Peace Partner 103 4.2 Phase II: The Kosovo Crisis and War with the West 106 4.3 Phase III: The US, EU and Coercing Compliance 109 4.3.1 Explaining Compliance and Rationalizing Non-compliance 110 4.3.2 Ratko Mladić and EU Conditionality 112 5 Conclusions 113 Chapter Four – Macedonia: Voluntary Compliance 115 1 Introduction 115 2 Domestic Politics of Compliance 118 2.1 State Legitimization: Independence, Insecurity and the UN 120 2.2 The 2001 Conflict and Ohrid: A Limited War 122 2.2.1 The Ohrid Framework Agreement 124 2.2.2 Ohrid and External Actors 125 2.3 Nationalist Mobilization in Post-Ohrid Macedonia 126 2.4 Nationalist Mobilization and the ICTY 127 2.5 The Boškoski and Tarčulovski Transfers 129 3 Construction International Justice – International Norms and Domestic Politics 130 3.1 The ICTY and Transnational Advocacy Networks 131 3.2 Civil Society: Victims, Veterans and NGOs 132 4 International Politics of Compliance 133 4.1 Regional Insecurity 134 4.2 The United States, NATO and Compliance 136 4.3 The United States and Ljube Boškoski 138 4.4 Compliance and the European Union 138 4.5 Explaining Compliance: Macedonia, Ohrid, NATO and the EU 140 4 Lamont, C. 2008 5 Conclusion 142 Part II – Compliance under Diffuse Sovereignty 144 Chapter Five – Bosnia-Herzegovina: Compliance under Diffuse Sovereignty 145 1 Introduction 145 2 Contextualizing Compliance in Post-Dayton Bosnia-Herzegovina 149 2.1 BiH under International Administration 151 2.1.1 Powers of the OHR 152 2.1.2 Internationalization of the Bosnian State 154 2.2 Rules of the Road: The ICTY as Bosnia’s War Crimes Supreme Court? 154 2.3 A State within a State?

Bibliography 273 Abstract The nation-state is now the dominant form of sovereign statehood, however, a century and a half ago the political map of Europe comprised only a handful of sovereign states, very few of them nations in the modern sense. Balkan historiography often tends to minimize the complexity of nation-building, either by referring to the national community as to a monolithic and homogenous unit, or simply by neglecting different social groups whose consciousness varied depending on region, gender and generation. Further, Bulgarian and Serbian historiography pay far more attention to the problem of "how" and "why" certain events have happened than to the emergence of national consciousness of the Balkan peoples as a complex and durable process of mental evolution. This dissertation on the concept of nationality in which most Bulgarians and Serbs were educated and socialized examines how the modern idea of nationhood was disseminated among the ordinary people and it presents the complicated process of national indoctrination carried out by various state institutions.

  • Peacekeeping and Foreign Aid in Conflict-Affected States

    Peacekeeping and Foreign Aid in Conflict-Affected States

    ABSTRACT The Intervention Nexus: Peacekeeping and Foreign Aid in Conflict-Affected States by Jonathan Kurt Simmons The continued deployment of uniformed peacekeeping operations (PKOs) and simultaneous commitment of foreign aid demonstrate the belief that these interventions are viable tools for generating stability in conflict-affected environments. However, there appears to be no concerted effort within the international community to design or employ of these interventions in a constructive manner. In this thesis, I argue that these independent interventions increase stability by targeting the two components of stability: the network of political, economic, and social interactions or behaviors that define a state, and a socially-defined oversight mechanism that attempts to restrain those behaviors within accepted norms. I also argue that variation in mission design affects the level of oversight a PKO generates and that higher levels of United Nations involvement will generate more oversight. Furthermore, increased levels of development- focused foreign aid applied under this higher level of oversight will create an interactive effect that results in higher stability. Rather than looking for success in those indicators that are specific to either intervention, I argue that investments made in the conflict-affected economy by foreign firms seeking profit and security of their assets (foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows) are a viable measure to determine changes in stability. By considering all states that have hosted a uniformed peacekeeping mission 1970-2013, I find that United Nations PKOs and higher levels of development-focused foreign aid have a positive interactive effect on FDI inflows. However, we only observe these results when we account for the time necessary for aid commitments to be utilized in the field and information derived through PKO oversight to affect policy decisions aimed at conflict resolution and reconciliation.

ERASING THE PAST: DESTRUCTION AND PRESERVATION OF CULTURAL HERITAGE IN FORMER YUGOSLAVIA Part II (Continuation from the Previous Issue) By Igor Ordev Igor Ordev received the MA in Southeast European Studies from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece. Previously he worked on projects like the World Conference on Dialogue Among Religions and Civilizations held in Ohrid in 2007. He lives in Skopje, Republic of Macedonia. III. THE CASE OF KOSOVO AND METOHIA Just as everyone could sense that the end of the horrifying conflict of the early 1990s was coming to an end, another one was heating up in the Yugoslav kitchen. Kosovo is located in the southern part of former Yugoslavia, in an area that had been characterized by hostility and hatred practically ‘since the beginning of time.’ The reason for such mixed negative feelings came due to the confusion about who should have the final say in the governing of the Kosovo principality.
