Judah (2008), Kosovo: What Everyone Needs to Know, Oxford University Press

• In Kosovo: What Everyone Needs to Know , Tim Judah provides a straight-forward guide to the complicated place that is Kosovo. Judah, who has spent years covering the region, offers succinct, penetrating answers to a wide range of questions: Why is Kosovo important? Who are the Albanians? Who are the Serbs? Why is Kosovo so important to Serbs? What role does Kosovo play in the region and in the world? Judah reveals how things stand now and presents the history and geopolitical dynamics that have led to it. The most important of these is the question of the right to self-determination, invoked by the Kosovo Albanians, as opposed to right of territorial integrity invoked by the Serbs.

Sicherlich interessant für Ihre Arbeit.
Herzliche Grüße
Ihr Wolfgang Schumann

• Nikola Gruevski, Macedonia's prime minister, has infuriated Greece by asking the EU member to recognise its Macedonian minority.

Maier/Rittberger (2008) Shifting Europe's Boundaries: Mass Media, Public Opinion and the Enlargement of the EU; European Union Politics 9 (2): 243-267

• This article demonstrates that public attitudes towards EU enlargement are strongly affected by exposure to the mass media. It reveals `priming' effects by showing that media exposure affects the standards by which individuals evaluate the accession of potential candidate countries. To gain a more refined understanding about media effects on enlargement attitudes, we analytically separate three different factors that underlie EU enlargement support for a given candidate country: its economic performance, its state of democracy and its perceived cultural `match' with the EU. Employing an experimental design, we probe the media-induced effects of these factors on EU enlargement attitudes.
